Description

Following an introductory chapter on neurons as the building blocks of behavior, the text is organized around in-depth case studies of individual animals which examine neural solutions that have evolved in animals to solve problems encountered in their particular environmental niches. A sampling of subjects: echolocation in bats, escape behavior in crayfish, associative learning in honeybees, and spatial navigation in rats. Carew (neurobiology and behavior, U. of California, Irvine) developed the text over 17 years of teaching the cellular basis of behavior at Yale University.
