During their time at the Rowland Institute the Rayshubskiy lab worked at the interface between neuro-engineering and neurobiology using the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, as a model system: (1) They developed the fruit fly as a micro-robotics platform and (2) they studied the basic biology of how flies use noisy sources of information during navigation. The Rayshubskiy Lab leveraged the circuit diagram of many neural circuits in the fly’s brain and the fact that flies can execute complex behaviors on a floating ball while they perform calcium imaging on a population of neurons.
