Sinopsis

This book offers representative examples from fly and mouse models to illustrate the ongoing success of the synergistic, state-of-the-art strategy, focusing on the ways it enhances our understanding of sensory processing. The authors focus on sensory systems (vision, olfaction), which are particularly powerful models for probing the development, connectivity, and function of neural circuits, to answer this question: How do individual nerve cells functionally cooperate to guide behavioral responses? Two genetically tractable species, mice and flies, together significantly further our understanding of these processes.

Current efforts focus on integrating knowledge gained from three interrelated fields of research: (1) understanding how the fates of different cell types are specified during development, (2) revealing the synaptic connections between identified cell types (“connectomics”) using high-resolution three-dimensional circuit anatomy, and (3) causal testing of how iden

tified circuit elements contribute to visual perception and behavior.

Acerca del autor

Mathias Wernet is currently a professor of Neurobiology at the Freie University of Berlin. His current research deals with the neural circuitry underlying visual behaviors in Drosophila melanogaster and integrates studies spanning anatomy, behavior, and physiology.

Arzu Celik is a professor of Developmental Neurobiology at Bogazici University in Istanbul, Turkey. Her research focuses on the generation of neuronal diversity and mechanisms of axon guidance in the visual and olfactory systems of Drosophila melanogaster.
