Neuromodulation of Innate Behaviors in Drosophila.

Our current research activities aim to identify specific neural circuits underlying olfactory behaviors, investigate how different physiological states of an organism modulate the function of olfactory circuits, and establish causality between neural plasticity in specific neuron populations and olfactory behaviors.

Modulation of the frequency response of Shaker potassium channels by the quiver peptide suggesting a novel extracellular interaction mechanism. J Neurogenet. 2010 Jul; 24 (2):67-74. Wang JW, Wu CF. PMID: 20429677; PMCID: PMC3115930.

Jing W Wang Early sensory processing can play a critical role in sensing environmental cues. We have investigated the physiological and behavioral function of gain control at the first synapse...

Aided by powerful genetic tools, researchers have made remarkable progress in Drosophila melanogaster to address how a myriad of contextual information influences the input-output relationship...

2017年11月15日 · We propose an alternative chemically inducible system, in which gene expression is controlled at the post-translational stage, making it compatible with the existing library of GAL4 stocks.
