Drosophila is one of the primary systems for the genetic investigation of neural circuits and behaviour.
This workshop has been held in Crete every second year since 2015. It will focus on recent technical and conceptual developments in the field, including:
Sensory and motor circuits
Developmental and molecular specification of neural circuits
Internal states and innate behaviours
Learning, memory and sleep
Brain-body interactions
Evolution of neural circuits and behaviour
Connectomics, automated analysis of behaviour and method development
All participants will present a talk, and there will be ample opportunities for formal and informal interactions.
The application of this workshop is open primarily to PIs and early career researchers who have recently established their independent groups or are about to transition into such positions.
Due to limited space availability at the conference venue, we are unfortunately not able to consider applications from graduate students or postdocs in the early stages of their careers.
