Mechanism Branch
Layer 1
Mechanisms
Top-level concepts: biophysical action modes such as heterodimerization, photocleavage, or RNA binding.
Layer 2
Architectures
Arrangements that realize or deploy mechanisms, including switches, construct patterns, and delivery strategies.
Layer 3
Components
Low-level parts and sequence-defined elements used inside architectures, including protein domains and RNA elements.
Technique Branch
Layer 1
Approaches
High-level engineering practices such as computational design, directed evolution, sequence verification, and functional assay.
Layer 2
Methods
Concrete methods used to design, build, verify, or characterize engineered systems.

behavioral measures in rodents, like prepulse inhibition of the acoustic startle and open-field locomotion, which are commonly used along with neurochemical approaches or drug challenge designs
We describe an animal model of social defeat as a possible model for human depression. We discuss the paradigm, behavioral correlates to depression, and potential underlying neurobiological mechanisms with an eye toward possible future therapies.
