The aim of the present research project is to study the response of the motion sensitive neuron H1 in the lobula plate of flies, order Diptera, gentis Chrysomia, to visual stimuli. The data obtained are subjected to analysis with the aim to understand the encoding and the decoding properties of the neuron with special attention to adaptation dependent strategies employed by the fly. H1 be…
The environment presents seasonal fluctuations of various abiotic factors, which influence all living beings and are derived from physical and chemical aspects of the environment such as light, temperature, convection currents, pH, and others. Among these variables, the temperature is of great importance because it acts directly by changing the speed of reactions and biochemical processes…
The aim of this study is the acquisition of experimental and theoretical tools to work in {\am Neuroscience}.To accomplish this, the student shall:1- Study: Information Theory, Stochastic Processes, Matlab/Scilab programming.2- Learn the experimental techniques used in our lab {\am DipteraLab} to record extracellularly from Lobula Plate neurons.3- Join his adviser in the project aiming at…
Our goal is to study the information transmission in flies' optical duct, using tools from dynamical systems. To accomplish this goal, the candidate must:1) Complete her formation with the mandatory courses of graduate school in basic physics.2)Become familiar with the laboratory experimental techniques and plan/execute new modalities.3)Carry out analysis of data generated by experiment…
