Brain and behaviour are intrinsically linked. Animals demonstrate a
huge and complex repertoire of behaviours, so how can specific
behaviours be mapped onto the complicated neural circuits of the
brain? Highlighting the extraordinary advances that have been made
in the field of behavioural neuroscience over recent decades, this
book examines how behaviours can be understood in terms of their
neural mechanisms. Each chapter outlines the components of a
particular behaviour, discussing laboratory techniques, the key
brain structures involved, and the underpinning cellular and
molecular mechanisms. Commins covers a range of topics including
learning in a simple invertebrate, fear conditioning, taste
aversion, sound localization, and echolocation in bats, as well as
more complex behaviours, such as language development, spatial
navigation and circadian rhythms. Demonstrating key processes
through clear, step-by-step explanations and numerous
illustrations, this will be valuable reading for students of
zoology, animal behaviour, psychology, and neuroscience.
