NIH funded research project investigating how environmental factors and insulin signaling affect neural connectivity and behavior in C. elegans.
Description
This project aims to study the mechanisms by which environmental factors influence neural circuit wiring and behavior, focusing on asymmetric synaptic connections in Caenorhabditis elegans. The research will explore genetic, behavioral, and imaging studies to understand hormonal control of neuronal hardwiring.
