62171	Conference	AB9	ARRANGED	n.a.	Location Pending	Bell, A	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/16/24-05/01/24 Section Title: Spatial ‘omics Section Info: Topic: Principles of Neuroethology. A seminar on the neural mechanisms of behavior, from basic perception to sensorimotor integration to memory systems and executive function. We will read through most chapters within the classic textbook, Sensation and Perception (10th edition), as well as a few supplementary readings from Evolutionary Neuroscience (3rd Edition, Jon H Kaas). We will discuss the main systems within the brain, and how interactions within and between these systems over the course of development produce behavior. In this seminar, we will emphasize the integrated nature of central representations of ecological signals transduced by peripheral detectors, and discuss the challenges and opportunities of converging neural solutions to reveal the selective pressures acting to shape brain organization and function across taxa. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.

Students will obtain skills in testing hypotheses in a phylogenetic framework, including both a theoretical understanding of the tests being implemented and practical skills to execute these in the R-programming language. Students will be expected to (1) lead class at least once during the semester, (2) perform weekly homework, and (3) apply the skills to a phylogeny relevant to their own research.
