Full Description

This exam investigates the neurobiology of animal behavior, emphasizing the neural mechanisms that influence actions and responses. Key principles include neurotransmission, brain structure-function relationships, and behavioral neuroethology.

A thorough understanding of neurobiology is essential for disciplines such as psychology, ecophysiology, and animal behavior studies. Investigating the brain's role in behavior provides insights into evolutionary adaptations and species-specific responses.

Candidates will be assessed on their ability to articulate how neural processes influence behavior. They must demonstrate an understanding of the interplay between neurological structures and observed actions in animals.

Clarity in verbal explanations of complex neurobiological concepts is required, along with examples illustrating the relevance of neurobiology to animal behavior.

Sample Questions

  • How does neurotransmission affect behavioral responses in animals?
  • What role do specific brain structures play in influencing animal behavior?
