Neuroethology’s Roots: Impeccably Classic.
The conceptual roots of neuroethology extend back to Darwin. Our guiding principles of our methodologies can be traced to Cajal, Sherrington, von Holst, and importantly, Krough. As a discipline, Neuroethology and our “big brother,” Neuroscience emerged with individual identities during the late 1960s and 1970s.
Neuroethology: So 20th Century?
Arguably, the Golden Age of Neuroethology spans three decades, 1970 to 2000, during which programs expanded, neuroethology textbooks were written, and our society was born with its first meeting in Tokyo, in 1986.
A selective review of what Neuroethology has contributed to Neuroscience.
W(h)ither Neuroethology’s roots in the 21st Century?
Where do we go from here? The difficulties of transitioning Neuroethology’s traditional projects and programs. The real and exciting opportunities to the next generation of neuroethologists.
