A series of experiments illustrating aspects of behaviour or neurobiology in an interactive way: 1) newt courtship; 2) water regulation (rats); 3) schedule-induced polydipsia; 4) thermoregulation; 5)...
Shows the structure of the vertebrate kidney, and uses in vivo renal micropuncture techniques to discover how the kidney functions. After showing what happens along the various sections of the kidney...
Compares the physiological adaptations made by a variety of diving mammals (whales, seals, dolphins) to water. The adaptations are found mainly in the thermo-regulatory and circulatory systems. Compares the...
An interactive computer tutorial package for teaching the principles of nerve biophysics and based on a series of well-documented experiments on the squid giant axon preparation, which illustrate some of the...
Based on research being carried out at the Developmental Biology Center, University of California at Irvine, the film discusses the development of the peripheral and central nervous system in chicks,...
Investigates ways of making sense of the enormous variation in food intake, temperature regulation and water balance among various animal species, and looks for an underlying systematic way of describing...
Atlantic salmon migrate between freshwater and the sea at least twice during their lives: once as young smolts migrating down to the sea, and again as adults returning to the Scottish rivers to spawn. This...
Considers the mechanisms that allow cells to differentiate and interact during development to produce the shape of the adult organism. Morphogenesis, the generation of shape and form, is illustrated by...
Reptiles exhibit enormous differences: some snakes are born live, others hatch from eggs; turtles disregard their young while crocodilians show an almost human concern for the welfare of their young....
Using an example of the visually directed prey-catching behaviour of the common toad, shows by which criteria objects are distinguished to trigger this behaviour, and how this information is processed in...
