Overview Research
in the Wilczynski lab is in the area of Neuroethology,
the study of the neural basis of natural behavior. The laboratory focuses
on the neural systems underlying animal communication and social behavior,
and has a particular interest in the interaction of the sensory and
hormonal systems that mediate these behaviors. Using amphibians and
reptiles as model systems, we use a multidisciplinary approach to
investigate the interactions of communication signals, behavioral
responses, and hormonal state via combinations of neuroanatomical,
neuroendocrinological, neurophysiological, and behavioral techniques.
