State-dependent decision making in flying fruit flies
Dr. Sara Wasserman is the Kresa Family Assistant Professor in Neuroscience at Wellesley College. In her talk she will discuss how internal and external environment are integrated to drive contextually appropriate decision making in fruit flies. She uses a combination of virtual-reality flight simulators, optogenetics, and two-photon calcium imaging to identify and characterize the neuronal circuits that underlie state-dependent tuning of visual and olfactory behaviors.
