Neuroethology

Neuroethology is the study of how our brains help us to do things. It looks at how animals (including humans) think, feel, and behave, and how their brains help them do those things. Neuroethology is like the study of the "brain wiring" that makes us who we are! Scientists use neuroethology to study how animals act in their natural environments, like why some animals can be brave and others can be scared. They also study how the brain works to control the body, like how some animals can move quickly while others stay still. Neuroethology helps to give us a better understanding of how we all work.
