This workshop will focus on emerging genetic methods that facilitate the use of the fly for neurobiological research, and on discussion of remaining gaps in technology and how they might be filled. Topics of interest include: (1) strategies for controlling gene expression in time and space; (2) tools to map and manipulate neural circuits; and (3) genetically encoded sensors and modulators of neuronal function. The workshop will be limited to 50 participants and there will be ample opportunity for discussion.
