Research Report Handout
Zoology is a branch of biology that
studies the origin, taxonomy (classification), and the interactions of
biological organisms ranging from studies at the molecular and biochemical
level of cells to the interactions between organisms and their environments. This
year, students will be focusing on Neurobiology
and Animal Behavior.
Scientists and students have
conducted studies on how animals use sensory information and adapt that
information for their benefit. Research topics could include behavioral endocrinology
in mammals, evolution and development of the vertebrate nervous system,
development of circadian rhythms in mammals, and the cellular transport of
nerve impulses in Drosophila and decision-making systems in rodents. Additional
topics include the motivation, communication and physiological processes
underlying animal communication and the neuro-morphology of feeding systems of
amphibians.
