Research Information

The sense of taste provides animals with critical information about the nutritional suitability of foods. In the Gordon lab, we use a combination of neurogenetics, calcium imaging, quantitative behavioural assays, and anatomical circuit tracing in the powerful fruit fly model system to understand how neural circuits process taste information and control feeding behaviour.
