Primate Neuroethology P

Herausgeber: Platt, Michael L; Ghazanfar, Asif A

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This edited volume is the first of its kind to bridge the epistemological gap between primate ethologists and primate neurobiologists. Leading experts in several fields review work ranging from primate foraging behavior to the neurophysiology of motor control, from vocal communication to the functions of the auditory cortex.
