项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY: The long term goal is to provide a framework to understand how a simple, innate behavior emerges from the activity of the nervous system. For this, molecular genetics techniques, electrophysiology and imaging technologies to study the mechanisms underlying temperature processing and preference in Drosophila -a system ideally suited for a comprehensive genetic and molecular dissection of neural circuits and behaviors, are applied. The lab's recent work has demonstrated that a simple sensory map represents temperature stimuli in the fly brain. It has also shown that a coordinated ensemble of second order neurons extracts information about the sign, onset, magnitude and duration of a temperature change from this simple map. The research is now proposing to delve deeper into the cellular and molecular mechanism that make this transformation possible. The expectation is that the results of this work will reveal new mechanisms and principles of somatosensory processing in the nervous system, will complement discoveries on differential feature extraction in other sensory modalities, and will have implications of interest to the broader neuroscience community, informing work on information processing within neural circuits. This work is also expected to contribute to the general understanding of the function of the neural circuits that control somatosensory responses (temperature and pain) in animals, potentially providing insights on genetic and neurological conditions which affect neuronal excitability resulting in devastating medical conditions such as chronic pain.

项目概要：长期目标是提供一个框架来理解简单的、与生俱来的行为是如何从神经系统的活动。为此，分子遗传学技术、电生理学和成像技术研究果蝇温度处理和偏好机制的技术 -a 系统非常适合对神经回路和行为进行全面的遗传和分子解剖，被应用。该实验室最近的工作表明，简单的感官图可以代表温度刺激在苍蝇的大脑中。它还表明，二阶神经元的协调集合可以提取信息从这张简单的地图中了解温度变化的迹象、开始、幅度和持续时间。该研究是现在提议更深入地研究实现这种转变的细胞和分子机制可能的。期望这项工作的结果将揭示新的机制和原理神经系统中的体感处理将补充差异特征的发现其他感觉方式的提取，并将对更广泛的神经科学产生兴趣社区，为神经回路内的信息处理工作提供信息。这项工作也有望有助于对控制体感的神经回路功能的一般理解动物的反应（温度和疼痛），可能提供有关遗传和神经学的见解影响神经元兴奋性的疾病会导致慢性疼痛等毁灭性的医疗状况。
