Diseases outside of the nervous system are also known to be able to affect behavior and cognition. Thus, a large area of neuroscience behavioral research utilizes non-neurological disease models. Here, we cover the various non-neurological diseases and give details on how exactly they affect behavior and how that’s objectively established through behavioral testing.
