DESCRIPTION:Animals integrate a variety of sensory inputs with
  their memories of past events and\nwith their int
 ernal state to select an appropriate behavioral re
 sponse. We use the\nDrosophila larval central nerv
 ous system to study how the nervous system\, opera
 ting\nas a unified whole\, successfully choses and
  executes an action while suppressing\nothers. I w
 ill describe the electron-microscopy reconstructed
 \, synaptic-level\ncircuits from sensory neurons t
 o higher order brain centers\, and the convergence
  of\nmultiple brain regions to high-order premotor
  centers that also integrate the\nre-afferent\, pr
 oprioceptive inputs. In particular I will discuss 
 the structure and\nour current understanding\, bas
 ed on circuits and optophysiological data\, of the
 \nmushroom body circuits that underlie learning an
 d memory in this insect\, and how the\nmushroom bo
 dy interacts with a center associated with innate 
 behaviors such as the\nlateral horn.
