I am interested in how neural circuit activity underlies behaviour including circadian rhythms, sleep, memory and movement. I study these using Drosophila, molecular genetics, electrophysiology and optogenetics. I study the fundamental biology of behaviour and how they are affected by ageing, drugs and diseases including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Down’s, schizophrenia and neuropathies. I also studying the effect of neonicotinoid insecticides on fly and bee circadian rhythms and sleep.
