معرفی
Rudy Behnia is an Assistant Professor of Neuroscience whose research focuses on unraveling how neuronal circuits process sensory information, particularly visual cues, to enable adaptive behaviors in complex environments. He investigates motion detection and color discrimination in fruit flies using interdisciplinary methods.
- Academic Appointments: Assistant Professor of Neuroscience
Research Interests: Sensory Physiology, Synapses and Circuits, Systems and Circuits. His work examines how specific neuronal types and their connectivity drive computations for sensory perception, emphasizing visual processing in Drosophila.
Methodology: Utilizes in vivo single-cell patch-clamp recordings, two-photon imaging, optogenetics, and behavioral paradigms. His publications span neuroscience and cell biology, reflecting a blend of visual circuit analysis and membrane trafficking studies.
Laboratory: Dr. Behnia leads a research group dedicated to understanding the biophysical and circuit mechanisms underlying sensory perception in diurnal animals.
