The aim is to identify novel molecular pathways that allow neurons to monitor food intake and orchestrate adaptive behaviors.

Techniques employed include:
(*) Gene expression profiling,
(*) Behavioral analysis,
(*) Optogenetics,
(*) in vivo calcium imaging,
(*) CRISPR/Cas9-mediated strain generation.
