How larval neurons are reprogrammed for adult behaviors in Drosophila — NSF Award to Villanova University (PA, $502,563)
As animals enter different stages of life, their needs and behaviors change. How the nervous system changes to allow for stage-appropriate behaviors is a central question in neuroscience, with connections to neurological disease and mental health. Many behaviors specific to adults arise after a period of maturation, e.

| Abstract | As animals enter different stages of life, their needs and behaviors change. How the nervous system changes to allow for stage-appropriate behaviors is a central question in neuroscience, with connections to neurological disease and mental health. Many behaviors specific to adults arise after a period of maturation, e.g., puberty, when a juvenile transforms into an adult. The nervous system transforms drastically during this time, including the birth of new cells that build the circuits for adul |
