Abstract:听Recent studies from our lab have described how the brain of a fruit fly learns the spatial layout of new sensory environments, how the brain situates its sense of our body in the world, and how the brain guides the body toward memorized spatial goals. I will describe how these insights came from careful studies of fruit fly brain wiring diagrams at single-synapse resolution, combined with targeted monitoring of specific brain cells as flies navigated in virtual reality environments, and computational modeling work that puts these observations into a theoretical framework.
