Abstract
Behavioral conditioning together with conventional sensory testing methods may be used in the evaluation of toxic effects on sensory systems in experimental animal models. Such procedures yield precise quantitative estimates of impairment in absolute and differential acuity and in sensory perception. Additionally, these behavioral changes can be related to the presence of histopathology in peripheral sensory structures; this orderly relation between structure and function may aid in our understanding of the basis for sensory coding in the normal end organ.
