Systems neuroscience of Drosophila: from genes to circuits to behaviour (FLIACT)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2012, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,
Understanding how the brain works represents one of the greatest challenges in modern science. This question embraces mechanisms spanning multiple levels of description, from genes to biochemical pathways, from neurons to circuits, from circuit activities to adaptive behaviours. The goal of the FLiACT programme is to train young researchers in the concepts and techniques necessary to study integra ...

Ecology of herbivore-induced leaf-to-root signaling in plants: Finding and testing the elusive messengers (SHOOT-ROOT-SIGNALING)
Date du début: 1 mai 2012, Date de fin: 21 juin 2014,
"The capacity of plants to withstand insect attack is of crucial importance for their fitness. Consequently, plants have developed intricate strategies to fend off herbivores and compensate for the negative impact of leaf-removal. Phytohormones, are responsible for many of these effects and are therefore widely recognized as key messengers in plant immunity. While the changes in leaves upon herbi ...

Evolutionary neuroethology of a lepidopteran species (EvolNeuroethol)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2010, Date de fin: 31 mars 2012,
Insects possess a highly developed sense of smell and live, as far as they are concerned, in a world dominated by odors. The evolution of olfactory preference is at the very basis of the enormous niche differentiation and adaptive radiation in insects. Paradoxically, the proximate mechanisms underlying the evolution of olfactory preference are elusive. I propose to take up this issue using the sim ...
