Max Planck Institute - for neurobiology of behavior — caesar

Welcome to the MPINB

The Max Planck Institute for Neurobiology of Behavior – caesar

We focus on basic research in neuroethology. Our international team of researchers studies how the collective activity of vast numbers of neurons gives rise to the plethora of animal behaviors.
