Congratulations Dr. Daniel Lawler!
This morning Daniel Lawler presented and defended his PhD thesis “Development of Automated Analysis Methods for Identifying Behavioral and Neural Plasticity in Sleep and Learning in C.Elegans“. Dan’s dissertation aimed to develop high throughput behavioral assays for adult sleep using a closed-loop assessment system; which demonstrated microfluidic devices for associative learning and neural plasticity experiments.
Dan’s sleep preprint is out!
Congratulations Dan and co-authors on submitting the sleep paper! Adult C. elegans spontaneously sleep in microfluidic devices (depends on fluid flow, oxygen, hunger, and sensory stimulation), and we asked how neural responses change in sleep and awake states.
