 nal control of behavior in Drosophila - Gerald M. Rubin\, Senior Group Lea

DESCRIPTION:A connectome of the Drosophila central nervous system will soo
 n be available. The challenge now is to use this information—together wi
 th genetically targeted physiology and perturbation—to understand the ne
 ural basis of sophisticated behaviors. I briefly discuss the generation of
  the connectome as an example of “big science” with striking similarit
 ies to earlier efforts to sequence genomes. I will then provide some take 
 home lessons from Drosophila that illustrate the value of connectome-level
  information. Finally\, I will describe our ongoing studies of aggressive 
 behaviors in the fly and how we hope to gain mechanistic insights into per
 sistent changes in internal brain state\, context dependent gating of visu
 al information\, and goal directed decision making.\n
