The book introduces the reader to the way in which nervous systems of animals control behaviour without assuming any prior knowledge of neurophysiology. Using a carefully selected series of behaviour patterns students are taken from an elementary-level introduction to a point where sufficient detail has been assimilated to allow a satisfying insight into current research on how nervous systems control and generate behaviour. Only examples where it has been possible to establish a clear link between the activity of particular nerve cells and a pattern of behaviour have been used. This book is essential reading for students of zoology, psychology and physiology and serves as a clear introduction to neuroethology. 517 3 $aNerve Cells & Animal Behaviour 606 $aNeurobiology 606 $aNeurons 606 $aAnimal behavior 606 $aNeurophysiology 615 0$aNeurobiology. 615 0$aNeurons. 615 0$aAnimal behavior. 615 0$aNeurophysiology. 676 $a573.8/6 700 $aYoung$b David$f1942 February 25-$0121339 702 $aSimmons$b Peter J$g(Peter John),$f1952- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454802103321 996 $aNerve cells and animal behaviour$92480440 997 $aUNINA
