Edgar Buhl: In my research I wish to understand how nervous systems allow animals to behave. I use the fruit fly Drosophila and its circadian clock to address this question, as it manages to tell the time with just 75 pairs of neurons, and we have powerful genetic tools that let us read and write activity to specific neurons.
