An extensively revised third edition of this introduction to
neuroethology - the neuronal basis of animal behaviour - for
zoology, biology and psychology undergraduate students. The book
focuses on the roles of individual nerve cells in behaviour, from
simple startle responses to complex behaviours such as route
learning by rats and singing by crickets and birds. It begins by
examining the relationship between brains and behaviour, and
showing how study of specialised behaviours reveals neuronal
mechanisms that control behaviour. Information processing by nerve
cells is introduced using specific examples, and the establishing
roles of neurons in behaviour is described for a predator-prey
interaction, toads versus cockroaches. New material includes:
vision by insects, which describes sensory filtering; hunting by
owls and bats, which describes sensory maps; and rhythmical
movements including swimming and flying, which describes how
sequences of movements are generated. Includes stunning photographs
which capture the detail of the behaviour.
