CAREER: Neural cell type and circuit evolution in the insect visual system — NSF Award to University of California-San Diego (CA,
The complexity of the brain resides on the number and types of neurons, and ways they connect with each other and with other tissues. Understanding how diverse brain complexity across different species relates to animal behavior is a fundamental goal in neuroscience. This project will use a comparative approach to expl

| Abstract | The complexity of the brain resides on the number and types of neurons, and ways they connect with each other and with other tissues. Understanding how diverse brain complexity across different species relates to animal behavior is a fundamental goal in neuroscience. This project will use a comparative approach to explore neural differences across insect species. The team will take advantage of the relatively simple insect visual system as a model for understanding neural cell type evolution and |
