Examples for Release and Control of Behavior Patterns by Other Sensory Systems,t signals (key-stimuli). Animals have evolved different ways of dealing with environmental conditions. As a generalization, “hardwired” systems may work very well, especially in simple animals that live in relatively stable and predictable environments. For a species to exist in a variety of environ

It may be assumed that such motor programs are based on fixed neuronal circuits which, when activated, initiate a spatially and temporally coordinated motor pattern. Such programs could be initiated spontaneously via commands originating in the brain itself, or they could be released b

Key-Stimuli and Releasing Mechanisms: Some Fundamental Concepts in Ethology, the classification and recognition of patterns. By this process the characteristic features are separated from irrelevant ones. The drawing of a caricaturist constitutes a good example: a few strokes capture those features, which, in their totality, yield a configuration that we associate, for instance, with a particular image of a person.
