Researchers at EPFL's Neuroengineering Laboratory, led by Pavan Ramdya, aim to replicate the workings of the brain of the ...

Genetic studies in model organisms, including Drosophila, have a rich history of fundamental insights in neuroscience, including the identification and functional dissection of genes important in ...

effectively reconstructing the genetic and synaptic landscape of the nervous system. The researchers tested their tool on the Drosophila leg motor system, identifying combinatorial gene signatures ...

Researchers have developed an easy-to-use, publicly available analysis pipeline and inexpensive hardware to record and quantify aggression and courtship behaviors in fruit flies.

Ventral (top) and ventro-lateral (bottom) views of Drosophila embryos triple-labeled to visualize ... shows short gastrulation (blue), ventral nervous system defective (green), and intermediate ...

I take an interdisciplinary approach to these questions, using behavioral, molecular, and genetic techniques to address nervous system form and function. By examining the genetic system of Drosophila ...

The cellular and molecular mechanisms that ensure the elaborate connection and function of the nervous system can then be ... in Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila and mice. Traditionally, genetic ...
