Behavioural Neurobiology (Neuroethology) University of Würzburg

Overview

At Behavioural Neurobiology (Neuroethology) from University of Würzburg students learn basic principles underlying chronobiology/endogenous clocks, integrative approaches to elucidate complex correlations in the field of behavioral biology, and obtain insight into current research in the field. The two topics selected of which each one is consisting of two theory modules and a practical course unit provides both theoretical and experimental skills. Further research training is provided in a selected field of interest, and the students are actively involved in ongoing research projects and learn to independently plan and perform both theoretical and experimental work and finally, to summarize and discuss the results obtained in the thesis. 

Key facts

• become familiar with various aspects of Neurobiology and Organismic Biology with a special focus on Neuroethology. 

• get theoretical knowledge, skills in scientific thinking, experimental planning and critically discussing the results obtained. 

• address scientific questions in the fields of Neurobiology/Neurosciences, Behavioral Biology and the various interactions of organisms and populations in complex habitats.
