Bf3R Seminar with Professor Dr David Owald: The model system Drosophila - towards understanding neural principles underlying sleep and memory
(05.12.2023)
Bf3R seminar with Professor Dr David Owald, Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin.
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.
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.
