How the Vertebrate Brain Regulates Behavior : direct from the lab

Historically, neuroscientists often chose to work with the simplest non-mammalian species out of a fear that the mammalian brain would be too complex and would defy precise methodology. My lab's work has proven that by choosing problems and methods with care, it is possible to explain a mamm...
