Context-Dependent Flexibility In Innate Behaviours And Their Underlying Neural Circuitry
Underlying Mechanisms Of Flexibility In Innate Reactionsanimal Survival Requires Innate Reactions To Be Fast, Reliable, And Flexible. The Erc-Funded Flexin Project Will Investigate The Way By Which Brain Circuits Facilitate Context-Specific Reactions To Cues Critical To Survival Such As Threat And Prey. Using A Combination Of Viral Tools, High-Throughput Neural Recording Techniques, And Behaviour Quantification In Rodents, The Study Will Uncover Neural Circuits Which Control Changes In The Animals’ Adjustment To Different Situations. The Project Will Analyse How Diverse Contexts Affect These Well-Defined Circuits And Behaviours, Revealing Principles Of Context-Specific Flexibility, Neural Circuit Conservation, And Brain Region Adaptation To Environmental Changes.
