An investigation of the role of the Drosophila gene jim lovell in endopolyploid growth
The Drosophila gene jim lovell (lov) encodes a putative transcription factor of the BTB/POZ (Bric-a-Brac, Tramtrack, Broad/Pox virus and Zinc finger) domain class that is expressed in many elements of the developing larval nervous system. Lov has roles in innate behaviors such as larval locomotion …

Cracking the Odor Code: Molecular and Cellular Deconstruction of the Olfactory Circuit of Drosophila Larvae
<p>The Drosophila larva offers a powerful model system to investigate the general principles by which the olfactory system processes behaviorally relevant sensory stimuli. The numerically reduced larval olfactory system relieves the formidable molecular and cellular complexity found in other …

Circuit Mechanisms of Context-dependent Memory-based Action Selection
… command neurons are not well understood. The Drosophila larva is an excellent model system for such investigations due to its rich behavioural repertoire (Eschbach & Zlatic, 2020; Ohyama et al., 2013) with identified command neurons (Clark et al., 2018; Ohyama et al., 2015; Takagi et al., …

Role of the immunoglobulin superfamily member Basigin in sensory neuron dendrite morphogenesis in Drosophila
… have used the peripheral sensory neurons of the Drosophila larva that grow dendrites over epithelial cell substrates to gain insights into how interactions with the substrate may influence dendrite development. In this thesis, I present data showing that Basigin, an immunoglobulin superfamily …

Comparative single-cell transcriptomics of complete insect nervous systems
… behavioural states are poorly understood. The Drosophila larva is an excellent model system to investigate genes, neurons, circuits, and behaviour. Drosophila melanogaster has one of the best annotated genomes and newly developed single cell RNA sequencing methods allow for profiling hundreds …

High-Throughput Operant Conditioning in Drosophila Larvae
… mechanisms are still not fully understood. The Drosophila larva is an excellent model system to study neural circuits, since it is genetically tractable, with a variety of tools available. Although it is quite small, it is capable of a diverse range of behaviours and can achieve complex learning …

Behavioural principles underlying navigational decision-making in Drosophila melanogaster larvae
… level and across entire brain circuits. The Drosophila melanogaster larva is an apt model system for probing the mechanisms of decision-making given its rich behavioural repertoire, small nervous system, genetic tractability, and available neuronal wiring diagrams. Taking inspiration from the …

A computational and experimental study of the Drosophila larval locomotor system and its developmental critical period
… critical period, the locomotor network of the Drosophila larva. This experimental system presents a unique opportunity to study the role of critical period experience in functional circuit formation in an experimentally accessible and genetically tractable model organism. The aim of the …
