神经科学与行为焦点小组的成员对有机形式和功能感兴趣。研究兴趣涉及广泛的问题，但强调行为的机械分析。该小组的一个特殊优势是教师对神经行为学（自然发生的动物行为的神经基础）的普遍兴趣。该学院专门研究化学感受，声学和化学交流，运动，社交昆虫和生物钟。焦点小组的教职员工在电生理学，声学和超声记录，运动学，肌电图，神经解剖学，共聚焦显微镜，电子显微镜和钙成像等技术方面提供专业知识。
The Neurobiology and Behavior group includes faculty interested in organismal form and function. Research interests span a wide range of problems, but emphasize the mechanistic analysis of behavior. A particular strength of the group is common faculty interest in neuroethology, the neural basis of naturally occurring animal behavior. The faculty specialize in the chemoreception, acoustic and chemical communication, locomotion, social insects, and biological clocks. Focus group faculty provide expertise in techniques such as electrophysiology, acoustic and ultrasonic recording, kinematics of movement, electromyography, neuroanatomy, confocal microscopy, electron microscopy, and calcium imaging.<br>The Wake Forest University Department of Biology is a community of diverse interests and integrative research partnerships.
