DESCRIPTION: When interacting with their environment animals constantly mak
 e decisions. These decisions frequently aim at maximizing reward while avo
 iding negative consequences such as energy costs\, pain\, or long-term dis
 advantages. Faced with a choice\, animals consider and integrate several p
 arameters such as their internal and behavioral state as well as external 
 stimuli. Often decisions are shaped by prior experiences such as exposure 
 to a given stimulus in a certain condition. But preferences and aversions 
 can be innate\, and an instinctive reaction can be essential to secure sur
 vival. Nevertheless\, even these innate preferences need to be evaluated i
 n a context-dependent manner and hence\, context strongly impinges on beha
 vior. While it is generally accepted that context influences behavior\, ou
 r knowledge of the neural mechanisms of how internal state and external co
 nditions alter ongoing behavior is scarce. The goal of my research is to p
 rovide a comprehensive understanding of the neural and molecular basis of 
 context-specific behavior. To this end\, my group studies how internal sta
 tes shape chemosensory processing and behavior. In this talk\, I will pres
 ent two examples of our recent work in the fly on reproductive state-depen
 dent decision making and on the role of need and motivation in foraging be
 havior.\nSpeaker: Prof. Dr. Ilona Grunwald Kadow
