Memory dynamics in Drosophila's mushroom body: a computational view
In this talk I present how our anatomically accurate incentive circuit predicts the responses of mushroom body neurons from the fruit fly brain and how they can be used to create similar behaviour to the one observed in the animals.

Memory dynamics in Drosophila's mushroom body: a computational view
An anatomically accurate circuit for short- and long-term motivational learning in fruit flies
We present how our novel dopaminergic learning rule and the incentive circuit predict the responses of mushroom body neurons from the fruit fly brain and create similar behaviour to the one observed in the animals.

An incentive circuit for memory dynamics in the mushroom body of Drosophila melanogaster
Modelling differential roles for identified dopaminergic and output neurons of the fruit-fly mushroom bodies combined with a novel dopaminergic plasticity rule explains neural and behavioural phenomena in olfactory learning tasks.

The incentive circuit of the fruit fly brain: a computational perspective
In this poster we show how our anatomically accurate incentive circuit predicts the responses of mushroom body neurons from the fruit fly brain and how they can be used to create similar behaviour to the one observed in the animals.

Insect neuroethology of reinforcement learning
Thesis - Doctor of Philosophy. I inversigated how insects form associative memories in their mushroom bodies and how this impacts their olfactory learning, visual navigation, and time-delayed reinforcements tasks.
