9780121064044: Neural Integration and Behaviour (v. 4) (Biology of the Crustacea)

Synopsis

Neuroethological studies of crustaceans have been conducted for over 100 years and have probably contributed more to the description of the basic neural rnechanisms underlying behavior than have any other animal studies. Volume 4 of The Biology of Crustacea reviews neuroethologically researched systems in crustaceans, providing readers with an authoritative survey of behavior vis-a-vis system activity. The topics covered in this volume include: neural integration and visual processing; neural mechanisms underlying the control of posture and locomotion; role of multimodal neurons in complex behavioral activity; neural systems that control the cardiac and stomatogastric apparatus; neural circuits responsible for escape behavior in crayfish. This volume will be of great value to neuroscientists, comparative psychologists, oceanographers, marine biologists, and invertebrate zoologists.
