PROJECT SUMMARY A principle aim of the NINDS is to determine how motor control is successfully implemented by the nervous system. Locomotion and balance are complex motor functions that are largely controlled by complex microcircuits that reside outside the brain. Understanding how such microcircuits function is critical to being able to treat diseases related to age, congenital disorders, and trauma in which these circuits are impaired. This proposal will leverage advantages of a highly tractable model system, the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster), to elucidate the computational principles underlying the sensorimotor circuits that govern flight stabilization. Fruit flies are an excellent…
