This volume presents the proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study
Institute on "Advances in Vertebrate Neuroethology" held at the
University of Kassel, Federal Republic of Germany in August 1981.
During the last decade much progress has been made in understanding
the neurophysiological bases of behavior in both vertebrates and
invertebrates. The reason for this is that a number of new
physiological, anatomical, and histochemical techniques have
recently been developed for brain research which can now be
combined with ethological methods for the analysis of animal
behavior to form a new field of research known as "Neuroethology".
The term Neuroethology was originally introduced by S.L.Brown and
R.W.Hunsperger (1963) in connection with studies on the activation
of agonistic behaviors by electrical brain stimulation in cats.
Neuroethology was more closely defined by G.Hoyle (1970) in the
context of a review on cellular mechanisms underlying behavior of
invertebrates. Since the 6th annual meeting of the Society for
Neuroscience held in Toronto in 1976, Neuroethology has become
established as a session topic.
