Summary

The Jaksic Group at EPFL focuses on experimental evolution of the cognitive brain, aiming to understand the genetic and phenotypic evolution of cognitive traits in real-time using Drosophila melanogaster. By exploring natural genetic diversity of brain morphology and function, the lab seeks to uncover genetic mechanisms underlying cognition. Through collaborative robotics, the group is developing automated evolution experiments to evolve cognition in flies, providing insights into the tempo and mode of evolution of cognitive ability in simple organisms.
