  Neuroethology
Neuroethology is the biological approach to the study of the neural basis of behavior.
Neuroethology is the study of natural behavior, which, in the older scientific literature, was called "instinctive behavior" or "innate behavior".
The subjects in neuroethology are as diverse as the animal kingdom.

The UCLA Center for Primate Neuroethology seeks to understand the developmental, physiological and genetic causes of variation in normal behavior and personality that are related to vulnerability for psychopathology, using a nonhuman primate model.
The Center for Primate Neuroethology also profits from collaborations with investigators from the NPI Center for Neurobehavioral Genetics and the Department of Human Genetics at UCLA for expertise and access to substantial resources in molecular and quantitative genetics.

 Fortunelab - Neuroethology
Neuroethology is the study of the neural mechanisms of naturally-occurring animal behavior.
At its best, information concerning an organism's evolutionary and life history, the adaptive significance of the behavior, and the relevant biomechanics / biophysics are combined to understand the neural mechanisms for the control of the behavior in question.
These data are widely relevant because the neural systems that control these highly specialized behaviors nonetheless employ the same basic principles of neural organization and cellular mechanisms that are used in the control of all behaviors.

 Neuroethology
Neuroethology is a branch of neuroscience that emphasizes the study of neural mechanisms of natural behavior.
This is in contrast to other approaches to neuroscience that study the nervous system in isolation, or in the context of artificial conditions.
The electronics required for amplifying neural signals and for transmitting them over a certain distance have enabled neuroscientists to now record from behaving animals performing activities in naturalistic environments.

This is extremely gratifying as we witness a resurgence of interest in the search for neurobiological mechanisms underlying behavior, a socially pertinent field which is rapidly becoming one of the major growth areas in animal behavior.

 International Society for Neuroethology - About Neuroethology
"Neuro-" refers to neurons, and "ethology" is the study of animal behaviour, so "neuroethology" is a branch of science that seeks to understand the neural basis of natural animal behaviour.
Early brain anatomists like Ramón y Cajal and Camillo Golgi revealed the intricate structure of brains and neurons, but it wasn't until the mid-20th century that researchers began to understand how neurons worked.
Neuroethology arguably became a distinct research field, as opposed to a few talented but somewhat isolated scientists, in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Leonardo da Vinci is reputed to have said, "The eyes are the window to the soul." It should come as no surprise that the more we learn about the human experience of eyes, the more the old master is shown to be right on the mark.
ETHOLOGY is the study of animal behavior in natural contexts; for example, the study of electric fish social behavior in the lowland streams of Panama and in ecologically valid laboratory settings.
NEUROethology is the study of the neural basis of animal behavior; for example, the study of how an electric fish nervous system enables the organism to perceive electrical stimuli.

Neuroethology is an approach to studying the nervous system that relies on analysis of natural behavior to give insight into plausible candidate neural mechanisms of those behaviors.
Ultimately, this approach is centered in evolutionary biology, and emphasizes processing of behaviorally relevant stimuli and responses.
We also study the neuroethology of auditory perceptions, currently by pursuing an analysis of individual vocal recognition in starlings by combining behavioral and neurophysiological approaches.

Neurobiological studies are usually carried out under highly reduced and carefully controlled laboratory conditions, while ethological studies are based on field observations of the rich repertoire of behaviors that animals exhibit in their natural habitat.
Neuroethology seeks to bridge the cellular domain of neurobiology and the organismal domain of ethology to explain how networks of neurons give rise to adaptive behaviors in complex natural environments.
Progress in computational neuroethology usually comes from detailed studies of particular “model systems.” Often biological systems are selected because of some unusual behavioral capability or neural specialization.
