Interests:
The Roman laboratory studies the molecular and neural mechanisms of behavioral plasticity. We are currently investigating ethanol tolerance and self-administration, olfactory learning and learning and memory formation, and exploration and neophilic behaviors. We use Drosophila melanogaster as our model system. The application of the large number of genetic tools available in Drosophila allows us to finely dissect the molecular events and the underlying neural circuits that drive the plasticity in these behaviors.
