This project investigates the genetic mechanisms behind the evolution of neural circuits in the Drosophila olfactory system. By exploring how these circuits adapt to environmental changes, the research aims to provide insights into the broader principles of nervous system evolution across species.
Nervous systems have undergone remarkable diversification in their structure and function as animals have adapted to distinct ecological niches.
What are the genetic mechanisms underlying neural circuit evolution?
The project addresses this fundamental question in the Drosophila olfactory system, a superior "evo-neuro" model for several reasons: (i) as in mammals, the Drosophila olfactory system has a modular organization, with individual olfactory receptors functionally and anatomically definin…
