Mechanosensory and Visual Integration for Fly Takeoff and Flight
Abstract
This proposal is aimed at understanding how multiple sensory systems (specifically vision and halters which are the crane fly orientation systems) function, adapt and respond to changes in environment. The PI intends to study these changes with electrophysiological recordings in the central complex of the crane fly (Diptera:Tipulidae) during flight and quantify the role of the halters during take off and flight, determine how the brain of the fly (central complex) functions during changes in behaviors.
