Using fruit flies and strong odors, Biology of Behavior researchers have made significant progress in understanding memory formation and the works of Pavlovian conditioning. The research has revealed important activity in nerve cells as well as interactions with proteins that regulate and control the mechanisms behind forming memories.

Harith Al-baldawi from the Roman Lab. Harith’s project will examine the role of dopaminergic signaling to the pars intercerebralis neurons (PI) in controlling hunger-induced exploration in Drosophila. The PI is analogous to the human hypothalamus, integrating endocrine and neural functions. These neurons also control feeding behaviors. Harith’s hypothesis is that DopR1 receptors in these neurons, through cAMP signaling, modulate hunger related behaviors such as extrinsic exploration.
