Bachelor Blog / #1 outline

Hello everyone!

Here is a brief overview of the topics I will be dealing with over the next few months:

This is the experiment by MD Ziv Williams I am trying to imitate ->

• Lamarckian inheritance following sensorimotor training and its neural basis in Drosophila – Williams, 2015

If you are further interested in transgenerational inheritance of behavioral traits and non synaptic memory storage check out these interesting links ->

• Can brain activity transmit transgenerationally? – Miska and Rechavi, 2021
• Is plasticity of synapses the mechanism of long-term memory storage? – Abraham, Jones and Glanzman, 2019

This week, for now, I will continue practicing to glue the flies and make a realistic estimate of the number of flies I need to get a significant result. Hopefully I can start trying out my experimental setup by the start of next week :)
