The Dickson laboratory investigates the neural circuits that control walking in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster.

Our goal is to understand how information processing in defined neural circuits generates complex animal behaviours. As a model system, we focus on the fly's ...

Barry Dickson was director of the IMP between 2006 and 2013. Under his guidance, the IMP introduced innovative career opportunities for young scientists.
