Yapici Lab

Yapici Lab in Ithaca, NY, specializes in understanding the neural control of appetitive behaviors by investigating how state-dependent decisions are regulated in model organisms such as Drosophila melanogaster and Mus musculus. The lab employs a variety of advanced techniques, including high-resolution behavioral measurements and neural imaging, to explore the impact of physiological states like food deprivation on brain activity and gene expression.

Dedicated to advancing the field of systems and molecular neuroscience, Yapici Lab welcomes graduate students and postdoctoral researchers who are passionate about this area of study. Their research aims to uncover the fundamental principles underlying the regulation of food intake decisions at the molecular, cellular, and circuit levels.
