Miniature Insect Model for Active Learning (MINIMAL)
Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2016,
Biology provides the inspiration for a vision of small low-power devices that are able to learn rapidly and autonomously about environmental contingencies, enabling prediction and adaptive anticipatory action. Larval Drosophila have fewer than 10,000 neurons, yet express a variety of complex orientation and learning behaviours, including non-trivial anticipatory actions requiring context-dependent ...

Systems neuroscience of Drosophila: from genes to circuits to behaviour (FLIACT)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 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 ...

Synaptic Systems: dissecting brain function in health and disease (SYNSYS)
Start date: Jul 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
Major disorders of the Central Nervous System (CNS) affect one in three people in the developed world, often seriously disable the affected individual, and together account for the single largest burden on the healthcare systems of the EU. Most of these disorders act at the neuronal synapse, a cellular organelle comprising in the order of 2000 proteins. Pleiotropy, cross-talk between proteins and ...
