Cell Biology and Neuroscience Seminar

Steve Stowers will present "GRASPing the neural circuitry of mechanosensory behavior."

Synopsis:  My research focuses on understanding how a nervous system translates sensory information from the environment into specific behavioral responses.  Specifically, I am trying to understand how the relatively simple nervous system of Drosophila larva translates mechanosensory stimuli into withdrawal behavior.  This talk will include a description of the tools I have developed for mapping neural circuitry and their initial application to identify second order neurons of the mechanosensory neural circuit.
