My long-term research in the nervous system is directed towards simple invertebrate nervous systems, to the circuits of identified nerve cells that provide the mechanism for adaptive behaviours. We will extend our understanding of the organisation of neural tissues, as well as enable the causal analysis of simple behaviours from the actions of identified nerve circuits. We will examine these in simple nervous systems, in the central nervous system (CNS) of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, which provides access to powerful genetic molecules and tools, and in marine ancestors that shed light on our own origins on earth.

我对神经系统的长期研究针对简单的无脊椎动物神经系统，即提供适应行为机制的已识别神经细胞回路。 我们将扩展我们对神经组织组织的理解，并从识别的神经回路的动作中对简单行为进行因果分析。 我们将在简单的神经系统中检查这些，在果蝇的中枢神经系统（CNS）中，它提供了强大的遗传分子和工具，并在海洋祖先中揭示了我们在地球上的起源。
