Neural Development to Neurodegeneration Through the Mind of a Worm
… loss of synapses in a thermosensory and also a chemosensory circuit. These mutations can also lead to defects in food searching behaviors. These observations lead us to conclude that the EphR/ephrin pathway has a role in circuitry assembly and food-seeking behaviors.</p> <p>After the nervous …

Investigation of Accessory Olfactory Interneuron Physiology and Function After Experience-Dependent Plasticity
… through their environments. The first dedicated circuit in the AOS, the accessory olfactory bulb (AOB), exhibits cellular and network plasticity in male and female mice after social experience. In the AOB, interneurons called internal granule cells (IGCs) express the plasticity-associated …

A Mechanism for Spatial Orientation Based on Sensory Adaptation in Caenorhabditis Elegans
… an odor source. The challenge to the neural circuitry is to interpret and respond to odor concentrations that change over time as animals traverse a gradient. In this thesis, I ask how a nervous system regulates spatial navigation by studying the chemotaxis response of Caenorhabditis elegans …

Strain Variation as a Window Into the Neural Logic of Drosophila Mate Choice
… how genetically specified differences in a chemosensory circuit give rise to diversity in behavior. Males from many species have been reported to show a preference for courting conspecific females. Here, we summarize past work and introduce new data to show that these preferences correspond …
