Speaker:
Dr. Katrin Vogt, Universität Konstanz/CASCB

This event is part of an event series „CASCB Seminar Series Winter 2021/2022“.

To optimally explore and exploit the environment, animals should adapt their behaviors according to all available information, such as present sensory and social context, former experience, and their internal state. But how does the brain integrate such multi-sensory and state-dependent information in different contexts to modulate stimulus processing and to inform decision making? Working with Drosophila larva and their rich genetic toolkit allows visualizing and manipulating anatomically well-known cell types in the brain. Thus, in fly larvae it is possible to decipher the neural circuits underlying decision making and complex behavioral responses in unprecedented detail.
