Neuroethology

3 credits · Undergraduate

Neuroethology explores how assemblies of neurons work together to produce behaviour. The course typically uses a mix of simple model systems, including live animals (e.g., earthworms), virtual systems, and robotics to examine how nervous systems produce behaviour. CALENDAR NOTES: All experiments in the accompanying lab involve invertebrates. Students are required to handle invertebrates during the lab.
