The primary objective of the Drosophila Neurobiology: Genes, Circuits & Behavior course is to provide state-of-the-art training in modern and emerging experimental approaches to study the nervous system of a major invertebrate model system, Drosophila melanogaster. The course is designed to introduce students to a wide variety of topics and techniques, including the latest approaches to study fly nervous system development, connectivity and behavior. Daily research seminars present comprehensive overviews of specific subfields of nervous system function and behavior, or focus on specific techniques and approaches to study diverse aspects of fly neurobiology. The course takes full advantage of the genetics of the fly as an experimental system for analyzing neural development, neuronal physiology and behavior. The course emphasizes the relevance of this powerful model system to advancing our understanding of the function and dysfunction of human brain. Significant emphasis will be placed on the disruption and reorganization of neural circuits upon chronic exposure to alcohol and drugs of abuse. The broader impact of the course is the training of researchers from throughout the world in the most recent findings and techniques in Drosophila neurobiology. In addition, they are introduced to the available resources and tools of advanced research in fly neurobiology. The students are chosen to include those who will disseminate information acquired in the course most broadly. Many of the students are likely to have educational and supervisory responsibilities in the near future; others are already professors or post-doctoral fellows, who will pass on what they have learned in the course. Many of the students who take the course go on to lead their own laboratories and the course provides a foundation of knowledge for these new lab heads.

果蝇神经生物学：基因、回路和行为课程的主要目标是提供现代和新兴实验方法的最先进培训，以研究主要无脊椎动物模型系统——黑腹果蝇的神经系统。该课程旨在向学生介绍各种主题和技术，包括研究果蝇神经系统发育、连接和行为的最新方法。每日研究研讨会全面概述神经系统功能和行为的特定子领域，或重点关注研究果蝇神经生物学各个方面的特定技术和方法。该课程充分利用果蝇的遗传学作为分析神经发育、神经生理学和行为的实验系统。该课程强调了这个强大的模型系统与增进我们对人脑功能和功能障碍的理解的相关性。将重点关注长期接触酒精和滥用药物时神经回路的破坏和重组。该课程更广泛的影响是对来自世界各地的研究人员进行果蝇神经生物学最新发现和技术的培训。 此外，还向他们介绍了果蝇神经生物学高级研究的可用资源和工具。 选择的学生中包括那些将最广泛地传播在课程中获得的信息的学生。许多学生可能在不久的将来承担教育和监督的职责；其他人已经是教授或博士后，他们将传授他们在课程中学到的知识。 许多参加该课程的学生继续领导自己的实验室，该课程为这些新实验室负责人提供了知识基础。
