The science of neuroethology links brain function to natural behaviour. This course will explore the neural & molecular mechanisms that drive animal behaviour, elucidating how the nervous system translates biologically relevant stimuli into behavioural activity. Thought-provoking examples from the insect world will demonstrate how these mechanisms have evolved & adapted to specific challenges of their environment. The course will provide students with an in-depth understanding of neuroscientific approaches to behavioural research in insects & other invertebrate model organisms. They will gain an understanding of how quite complex behaviours can in some cases be reduced to relatively... -- Course Website
