Thoughts Aflutter | Neuroscience Poster

  Thoughts Aflutter, Luke Brezovec, 2018 . What do different parts of the brain do? We can answer this question by recording the activity of the entire brain while exposing an animal to a stimulus, such as moving bars of light. By presenting many types of stimuli, we can learn how the brain represents information and uses it to control behavior. . Part of our Thoughts Aflutter Collection, this image depicts sections of a drosophila brain busy processing visual movement. A special type of microscope was used to see through the brain, similar to how a fMRI works on people. This fly was shown vertical black and white stripes moving in various directions while the activity of the whole brain was recorded. The brain was color coded based on strength of response.  Learn more about the research >> . A statement in any room.
