We mainly study information processing at the visual system peripheries, specific mechanisms of visual signal transfer and transformation, their physiological adaptations and evolution linked to visual ecology. Since at the levels of receptors, neurons and neuron networks no principal differences exist between dissimilar Metazoan species, we use insects as convenient model organisms to investigate common […]

Insect sensory physiology is a rapidly developing field of biology. The functioning of the sensory organs adjusts to external and internal factors, such as circadian rhythms, light, temperature, humidity, reproductive status, age, etc. We study the plasticity of sensory systems using electrophysiological and behavioral methods.
