This course on Ethology-Animal Behaviour and Neurophysiology aims to provide an understanding of ethology as a branch of biology, covering topics such as perception of the environment, hormonal and neural control of behavior, ethogenetics, biological rhythms, and more. The course is designed for M.Sc, B.Sc, CSIR-NET, and NEET exam takers. Students will learn about various aspects of animal behavior, including sensory perception, hormonal influences, genetic and environmental components, and communication among animals. The teaching method includes lectures, notes explanation, diagrams, flowcharts, and single-shot videos. The intended audience for this course includes students of zoology, life science, and behavioral science who are interested in gaining knowledge about animal behavior and neurophysiology.
