1.
Outline
This lecture outlines to understand the orderliness of animal behavior and learn physiological mechanisms involved in it. We will discuss the various animal behaviors which are thought to be important for understanding the neural basis of behavior development and discuss it from neurophysiological, neuroendocrinological, and molecular biological aspect.
2.
Objectives
Animals are not meaninglessly moving. Its behavior is meaningful, it adapts to each habitat and evolves and is highly diversified. And, it is the universal physiological mechanism in many cases that supports it. The goal of this lecture is to "understand the meaning of animal behavior and understand the relationship with control mechanism".
