Second Caribbean School of Neuroethology

Explored the neural basis of behaviors found both in vertebrates and invertebrates. The neuroethological aspects studied include sensory processing in the visual, auditory, olfactory, and somatosensory systems; decision-making processes in the central nervous system; and motor control strategies such as central pattern generators and peripheral feedback control. The course was divided in two parts.

The neuroethological aspects studied include sensory processing in the visual, auditory, olfactory, and somatosensory systems; decision-making processes in the central nervous system; and motor control strategies such as central pattern generators and peripheral feedback control. The course was divided in two parts. During the first part, lectures, seminars, field work, and behavioral experiments in the animal’s natural environment were taught by invited foreign lecturers. The second part of the course was designed to combine lectures from local scientists in the morning with laboratory experiences in the afternoon and evening. This lecture and laboratory course allowed the students not only to gain first-hand experience in approaching these model systems, but also to interact and network with leaders in the specific areas of research.
