The Neurobiology and Behavior research cluster comprises faculty members focused on studying biological form and function at the organismal level. Their investigations cover diverse topics, with a strong emphasis on understanding the biological mechanisms underlying behavior. A defining characteristic of this group is their shared focus on neuroethology - examining how nervous systems generate natural animal behaviors. Researchers concentrate on areas including chemical sensing, auditory and chemical signaling, movement patterns, eusocial insects, and circadian rhythms. The team brings specialized skills in methodologies like electrophysiological recordings, sound wave analysis, motion tracking, muscle activity measurement, neural structure mapping, advanced microscopy techniques, and cellular calcium monitoring.
Faculty members regularly conduct specialized graduate seminars, with topics reflecting evolving research priorities. Recent offerings have explored Bioinspired Design, Neural Pathway-Behavior Relationships, and Physiological Approaches to Conservation.
