With the laser scanning microscope, Bente Winkler gains insights into the inflammatory processes in the brain in fruit flies. WWU - Michael Moeller When you enter the Institute of Neuroand Behavioural Biology at Badestraße 9 and go up the stairs on the left.. what you immediately see are the rows of pictures in the stairwell and the corridors. They look fascinating, in bright vibrant colours - but what they actually show is not apparent to the non-specialist at first glance. In fact, they are microscopic views of the insides of fruit flies. The stairs lead to the first floor, to the working group headed by Prof. Christian Klämbt, who, with his team, has been studying fruit flies ( Drosophila melanogaster ) for some years now. The researchers here are interested in which molecular processes control the development of the brain, and how the interaction between the various cells in the brain controls the insects' behaviour.
