My research explores how animals integrate multisensory information to create an internal estimate of their orientation in space. Further, I investigate how animals select appropriate navigational strategies based on the reliability and availability of sensory (guidance) cues and their ability to orient themselves. My lab takes a multifaceted approach to link circuit architecture and function to an animal’s ability to quickly adapt to dynamic environments. To do this, we employ a combination of connectomic, behavioural, physiological and theoretical approaches in two insect models, ants and flies.
