1. Motion Vision Processing in Fly Lobula Plate Tangential Cells
Sammanfattning : Flies are highly visually guided animals. In this thesis, I have used hoverflies as a model for studying motion vision. Flies process motion vision in three visual ganglia: the lamina, the medulla, and the lobula complex. In the posterior part of lobula complex, there are around 60 lobula plate tangential cells (LPTCs). LÄS MER
2. Regulation of insulin signaling and its developmental and functional roles on peptidergic neurons in the Drosophila central nervous system
Sammanfattning : In Drosophila, eight insulin-like peptides (DILP1-8) are produced and secreted in different locations. They regulate many aspects of development and physiology, such as organism growth, metabolic homeostasis, reproduction, stress resistance and life span. LÄS MER
3. The Molecular Mechanism of Aggression and Feeding Behaviour in Drosophila melanogaster
Sammanfattning : Obesity is a complex disorder which has become a growing health concern. Twin studies have demonstrated a strong genetic component to the development of obesity and genome wide association studies have identified several genetic loci associated with it. However, most of these loci are still poorly understood in a functional context. LÄS MER
