Neuroscience and Animal Behaviour

The group conducts research over a variety of species, including invertebrates and birds to answer questions of perceptual processing, communication, cognition, brain lateralization, development and memory in animals, investigating interactions of brain mechanisms and behaviour.

The group no longer accepts new PhD students but both founders, now emerited, are actively engaged in research and related activities and can be contacted separately. Em. Prof. Lesley Rogers currently works on lateralization of bees in conjunction with a laboratory at the University of Trento, Italy and Em. Prof. Gisela Kaplan continues research and writing on communication and cognition in native avian species.
