This award funds research to understand how odors modulate locomotion in fruit flies by studying the neural circuits involved, aiming to advance knowledge of sensorimotor processes in naturalistic behaviors.
Description
Research to obtain a circuit-level understanding of naturalistic behavior focusing on odor modulation of locomotion in Drosophila, investigating sensorimotor transformation and the role of third-order olfactory neurons in the fly's lateral horn.
