This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173), provides $227,286 to Yale University to investigate how fruit flies (Drosophila) sense and respond to dead members of their own species. The overarching goal is to characterize adult Drosophila's egg-laying behaviors in response to dead conspecifics and elucidate the underlying mechanisms, with a focus on the role of olfaction. Through specialized techniques including genetic tools, electrophysiology, and spectroscopy, the research seeks to systematically explore how Drosophila perceive and react to dead individuals, providing new insights into the sensory processing and behavioral responses to death. The award period runs from June 30, 2024 to January 31, 2027.
