In particular, they are interested in not just the precise physical and physiological mechanisms behind the performance of a single behavior or motion.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EInstead, the primary focus is on the intricate interactions that underlie the temporal ordering, control, and evolution of an organism\u2019s movements, attempting to unearth general organizing principles that apply across species.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThese studies include building new computational tools for measuring behavioral structures across many time scales, analyzing the biomechanical basis of rapid control in insects, revealing social context and temporal patterning in rodent vocalizations, and using data from optogenetic and targeted genetic introgression screens to probe the neurological control of behavioral commands and the evolution of behavior in fruit flies.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EFaculty Host: \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/hannahchoi.math.gatech.edu\/\u0022\u003EHanna Choi, Ph.D.\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/eepurl.com\/h-iykb\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003ESign-up here\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;to receive future GT Neuro Seminar Series announcements.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u0022Themes and Variations in Animal Behavior\u0022\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u0022Themes and Variations in Animal Behavior\u0022 - Gordon Berman, Emory University"}],"uid":"35486","created_gmt":"2023-12-01 19:32:59","changed_gmt":"2023-12-14 17:50:10","author":"Christina Wessels","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2024-01-29T11:15:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2024-01-29T12:15:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2024-01-29T12:15:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2024-01-29 16:15:00","gmt_time_end":"2024-01-29 17:15:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2024-01-29 17:15:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Petit Biotech Building (IBB), Suddath Seminar Room 1128, 315 Ferst Drive","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.
