Bf3R Seminar with Professor Dr David Owald: The model system Drosophila - towards understanding neural principles underlying sleep and memory
The Bf3R seminars address issues related to the use of animal experiments and alternative methods in basic research and toxicology, as well as the 3Rs. They include a lecture of approx. 30 – 60 min, followed by a discussion.
10 – 12 a.m.
The event will be held online via Webex.

Details
The brain of Drosophila melanogaster is made up of approximately 150,000 neurons while an estimated 75% of disease-related genes are conserved. This talk highlights experimental advantages of the Drosophila model system and provides examples of mechanistic insights in the context of memory storage and sleep regulation.
The event will be held online via Webex.
