Dissecting the genetic basis of learning, memory, and thermal tolerance in a multi-parental population of fruit flies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)Learning, memory, and thermal tolerance are complex traits that are fundamental survival skills in many species. For example, small poikilotherms " like Drosophila melanogaster, have evolved physiological mechanisms to ... -
Genetic and neuronal systems that are critical for high temperature avoidance in reflexive and learned behaviors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014) -
Identification, characterization and use of novel thermogenetic tools in drosophilia melanogaster
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)Extrinsic control of neural activity is necessary to decipher the neural mechanisms underlying behavior. Molecular tools that employ light (optogenetics) or temperature (thermogenetics) are primarily used for extrinsic ...
