Description
Comprises reports from the Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory on recent investigations into the relationships between neural circuits and behaviour. These essays recount results of laboratory and field research on the cellular basis of behaviour, motor control, pattern recognition, mechanisms of learning and memory, sensory processing (especially in the visual system), sexual dimorphism and development. Also discusses the results of field studies of natural behaviour.
