The rapid progress of neuroscience in the last decade can be
largely attributed to significant advances in neuroethology, a
branch of science that seeks to understand the neural basis of
natural animal behavior. Novel approaches including molecular
biological techniques, optical recording methods, functional
anatomy, and informatics have brought drastic changes in how the
neural systems underlying high-level behaviors such as learning and
memory are described. This book introduces recent research
techniques in neuroethology, with diverse topics involving
nematodes, insects, and vertebrates (birds, mice and primates),
divided into sections by research method. Each section consists of
two chapters written by different authors who have developed their
own unique approaches. Reports of research in "model animals"
including C. elegans, Drosophila, and mice, which were not typical
specimens in conventional neuroethology, have been deliberately
selected for this book because a molecular genetic approach to
these animals is necessary for advances in neuroethology. Novel
methodology including optical recording and functional labeling
with reporter genes such as GFP has been actively used in recent
neurobiological studies, and genetic manipulation techniques such
as optogenetics also are powerful tools for understanding the
molecular basis of neural systems for animal behavior. This book
provides not only these new strategies but also thought-provoking
statements of philosophy in neuroethology for students and young
researchers in the biological sciences.
