The Neurobiology and Behavior research cluster comprises faculty studying biological form and function. Their investigations cover diverse topics, with a strong focus on understanding behavioral mechanisms. A defining feature is the shared faculty expertise in neuroethology - studying how neural systems underlie natural animal behaviors. Researchers concentrate on areas including sensory perception, auditory and chemical signaling, movement patterns, eusocial insects, and circadian rhythms. The team offers specialized skills in methodologies like electrophysiological recordings, sound analysis, motion tracking, muscle activity measurement, neural structure mapping, advanced microscopy techniques, and cellular calcium monitoring.
