3D-analysis of neuropiles and tracts in ganglia of locusts, moths and Drosophila (3D-reconstruction with AMIRA, confocal microscopy, immunocytochemistry, neuroanatomy)
Modelling of neuromodulatory neurons (compartmental models) or modelling of a complex projection interneuron (good for a bioinformatics or computational neuroscience student)
Central nervous projections of tactile and filiform hairs in locusts.
Neuromodulation:
Sensory activation of abdominal neuromodulatory neurons
