Research Interests & Goals
Apart from common delay conditioning, where the preceding conditioned stimulus (CS) and the following unconditioned stimulus (US) overlap temporally, association of CS and US is as well possible when there is a temporal gap between both stimuli (trace conditioning). Interestingly, this form of learning implicates the existence of a sensory memory (CS-trace) which persists until the US is given and both stimuli can be associated.
I use the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster to investigate the following questions: where in the neural network is the CS-trace located, how is the trace encoded, and which mechanisms underlie the CS-US association?
