Behavioral Neurobiology: The Cellular Organization of Natural Behavior


Overview

This text provides treatment of the neural basis of behaviour. The pedagogical premise of the book is that general insights into the neuronal organization of behaviour can be gained by examining neural solutions that animals have evolved to solve problems encountered in their particular environmental niche. Behavioural Neurobiology does not presume a strong biological background, and is therefore suitable for a general undergraduate audience. However, the material is treated in sufficient depth to make the book useful for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in behavioural neurobiology or neuroethology as well.

Table of Contents

An introduction to the cellular analysis of behaviour: neurons as the building blocks of behaviour. Sensory worlds: echolocation in bats; prey location in barn owls; feature detection in toads. Motor strategies: mate calling in crickets; locust flight; escape behaviour in the crayfish. Behavioural plasticity: the development of learning in songbirds; associative learning in honeybees; learning and memory in simple reflex systems in aplysia; molecular genetics of learning and memory in drosphila; spatial navigation in the rat.
