Funding from the Wellcome Trust
We are delighted that an Investigator Award from the Wellcome Trust will fund our research for another six years beginning in 2022. The aim will be to understand the mechanisms that underly the plasticity of visual circuits.
We will use larval zebrafish, where visual circuits and the behaviours they drive are altered in the context of i) changes in the visual environment; ii) information arriving through chemical and mechanical senses; iii) information about the internal state, such as arousal or satiety, and iv) circadian mechanisms that adjust behaviour through the solar cycle.
