2008 Crill Lecture

Health Sciences  Seminars  |  Wed, May 7, 2008 1:30 PM, Speaker: Rachel Wilson, PhD  Harvard Medical School    The Drosophila antennal lobe circuit contains relatively small numbers of neurons, and genetic tools allow us to label identified types of first-order olfactory receptor neurons and second-order projection neurons. We can monitor in vivo odor responses in these neurons using electrophysiological recordings, and we use genetic tools and pharmacology to probe functional interactions between neurons in this circuit. I will discuss the implications for olfactory processing in this circuit. Sponsor info.: Physiology & Biophysics 206-543-0950 Location: D - 209, HSB
