Historically the search for the neural bases of behavior goes back
a long way. Neuroethology, which is concerned with the experimental
analysis ofthe releasing and control mech anisms of behavior, is a
young discipline. Results from this multidisciplinary branch of
research, which uses physical, chemical, and mathematical methods,
have not yet been extensively treated in textbooks of
neurophysiology and ethology. This book is intended as a first
attempt to pose major questions of neuroethology and to
demonstrate, by means of selected research examples, some of the
ways by which these questions are being approached. Inevitably this
cannot be a complete and in depth detailed treatment of all of the
neurobiology examples, and I realize that such a selection is of a
subjective nature. The overall goal ofthe book is to present an
introduction. After outlining some of the very basic
neurophysiological and ethological concepts (Chaps. 2 and 3),
neuroethological questions and methods are demonstrated extensively
by means of a particular example (Chap. 4). There are two reasons
to choose the visually guided prey-catching and avoidance behavior
of the Common Toad: (1) it is a system which I have inves tigated
for about fifteen years and therefore know best, (2) the toad story
is one of the most comprehensive neuro ethological approaches so
far. Thus, it is possible here to outline the major concepts of
neuroethology and to pose the basic questions."
