Temporal processing in Drosophila melanogaster
All information processing in nervous systems relies on spatial and temporal patterns of neural activity. While spatial patterns are dictated by neuroanatomy, the mechanisms that give rise to temporal activity patterns are diverse. They range from fast voltage dynamics of single neurons at one end of the spectrum to slow transcriptional and structural changes at the other, but the rules that shape signals at timescales in between milliseconds and minutes are poorly understood. The proposed research aims to uncover mechanisms of temporal information processing at these intermediate timescales, at which temporal patterns are thought to emerge from recurrently connected circuits.
