The Neurobiology and Behavior research team comprises faculty members focused on studying organismal structure and function. Their investigations cover diverse topics, with a strong emphasis on understanding the biological mechanisms behind behavior. A key specialty of this group lies in neuroethology - exploring how neural systems govern natural animal behaviors. Faculty expertise spans chemical sensing, auditory and chemical signaling, movement patterns, eusocial insects, and circadian rhythms. Researchers employ advanced methodologies including electrophysiological recordings, sound analysis, motion tracking, muscle activity monitoring, neural structure studies, high-resolution microscopy, and calcium signaling visualization.
