The neural basis of behavior: a neuroethological view.

The subject of this review is too broad to be covered fairly and exhaustively on so few pages, and necessary limitations in the choice of data and their interpretation reflect personal views and interests; most examples are drawn from seemingly "exotic" systems, such as electric fish, bats, and owls. A search for the neural basis of behavior requires a close integration of behavioral and neurophysiological approaches within the same system as we attempt to map phenomena of perception and motor control onto particular neuronal organizations. Studies of special model systems may yield explanations of wider applicability, and a comparison of different systems should identify general principles in neuronal design. The selection of references is not intended to be complete, to trace the history of discoveries, or to suggest priorities. Instead, these references should only assist in the search for additional sources. Therefore, more recent articles and reviews have been quoted primarily.
