The nervous system of plant-parasitic nematodes and their behaviors
… thought to be highly conserved. However, using a comparative neuroanatomy approach, I found unexpected variation in the number and structural properties of neurons among ten species across four clades. To further study the nervous system of plant-parasitic nematodes, I investigated how the …

How did the Human Brain Evolve? Tracking Cerebral Changes in the Fossil Hominin Record Using Advanced Imaging Techniques and 3D Modelling
… imaging techniques, computational analysis, and comparative neuroanatomy to reconstruct the chronology and pattern of cerebral reorganisation. To develop a reproducible and user-independent protocol, a detailed examination of cortical sulcal imprints in extant Homo and Pan endocasts was conducted …

Mushroom body expansion and the cognitive ecology of Heliconius butterflies
… I have explored these questions by collecting comparative behavioural and neuroanatomical data across Heliconius and closely related Heliconiini. To explore patterns of MB evolution in the Heliconiini, I conducted phylogenetic comparative analyses across a neuroanatomical dataset of 41 species, …
