About

The Drosophila curriculum bridges developmental neurobiology and connectomics, guiding learners through the principles of how neural circuits are built during development and how their wiring gives rise to behavior. Using the Drosophila larval nervous system as a model, the curriculum provides a scaffolded series of modules that progressively build conceptual understanding from gene expression and neuronal lineages to synaptic connectivity and circuit function.

How to Use This Site

Use the Protocols menu to navigate the individual curriculum modules. Each module contains detailed protocols, guiding questions, and references to primary literature and connectomics resources. The modules are designed to be followed in sequence, but can also be used independently depending on the learner’s background. Instructors can use Instructors to retrieve detailed preparation and execution instructions. Students can navigate to Students for guided tutorials for each module.
