NSCI 375 - Neuroethology

FC NSMA

4 credits
Neuroethology is the study of the neural mechanisms underlying animal behavior using comparative and evolutionary approaches. Students will learn how sensory and neural systems vary among a wide range of animals and how these systems are adaptive to animal behaviors. Topics such as sound localization in owls, echolocation in bats, song learning in birds, and spatial learning in insects will be used to illustrate these concepts.
