We collaborate with several people to different extents.
This is an outdated list - a current one will follow soon.
We are collaborating on developing the optical imaging technique in crabs in order to investigate both its visual and its olfactory system.
In a joint project funded by HFSP we are investigating the olfactory system from a computational, physiological and behavioral point of view, by combining our respective approaches. Christiane covers the computational aspect.

The group in Würzburg is constructing flies expressing genetically encoded fluorescence sensor proteins. Together we have established optical imaging in the fruitfly brain using the calcium sensor cameleon 2.1. Whereas we are using this approach to investigate the fly's antennal lobe, they are focussing on odor representations and its experience-dependent modulation in higher brain centers in combination with other genetic tools and behavioral experiments.
The group in Trondheim is investigating the representation of both pheromonal and plant-derived odours in the moth's brain. Using confocal reconstructions we created a morphological atlas, and are now investigating odour-evoked responses in the antennal lobe using calcium imaging.
