Beskrivelse

Animals often exhibit intriguing and captivating patterns of behavior, from migration and homing, to communication. But how is this behavior controlled? Behavioral Neurobiology introduces undergraduate students and other readers to the fascinating field of neuroethology - the study of the neurobiological processes underlying animal behavior. Written in a lively, easy to read style, it examines the key concepts and ideas which underpin this intricate andelegant subject, and describes many of the ground-breaking discoveries that have helped us to unravel the mechanisms behind the behaviors we can observe.Beginning with a look at the history of the study of behavior, from Aristotle to recent breakthroughs and predictions for the future, the book then reviews the ethological and neurobiological concepts that constitute the essential tools of behavioral neurobiology, before moving on to the field of neuroethology itself. In each chapter, the text not only describes the major findings in each area, but also the methods used to obtain these results.Behavioral Neurobiology has the following accompanying online resources:For students:* Multiple choice questions for you to test yourself* Useful weblinks* A biography of the author and interview about key questions in behavioral neurobiologyFor lecturers:* Answers to the questions provided at the end of each chapter* Figures from the book in a downloadable format* Journal Club material for each chapter
