Nervous systems of animals have
been studied extensively at molecular, cellular and behavioral
levels.
However, one of the missing pieces
of information in neurobiology is an understanding of the
nervous system as "a system", not just as a field
for many biological reactions.
With an imaging technique to visualize
neuronal activities, I would like to understand how attractive
or repulsive odor signals are processed to cause appropriate
behavioral responses in the intact neuronal network of
the nematode C. elegans, one of the simplest nervous systems.
