My main interest is the processing of information in sensory systems and the understanding of the underlying neuronal circuits. In the lab we are studying the antennal lobe of the honeybee by means of optical and pharmacological methods. We stimulate the animal with olfactory stimuli and manipulate the circuit with neurotransmitters. The goal of out experiments is to reveal glomerulus interactions and thus discover the connectivity map in the antennal lobe (spatial processing). For examining the temporal processing of odorant stimuli we use voltage sensitive probes.
