In his talk, Cornelius Gross provides an introduction to the study of brain and behaviour and then explores the challenges scientists face when trying to understand how complex behaviour is determined. In the main part of his talk, Cornelius Gross focuses on the role of neural circuits in controlling emotions such as fear and anxiety and shares his research insights into this fascinating field of biology. Cornelius&#8217; central question in the talk is: why do we do what we do?<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"vf-tabs__section\" id=\"vf-tabs__section-6d8f4597-8049-4a64-9a24-c70523c81c05\"><h2>Concepts covered<\/h2>\n<p>\u2022 Instinctive and voluntary behaviour control<br>\u2022 Synapses<br>\u2022 How neural circuits control emotions?<br>\u2022 Optogenetics: using light to control the brain<br>\u2022 Regions in the brain that control fear responses<br>\u2022 Measuring instinctive fear and fear memory in mice<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"vf-tabs__section\" id=\"vf-tabs__section-493788a8-95d2-4071-a5a2-618a09c7c72d\"><h2>Watch lecture<\/h2>\n<p>The EMBL Insight Lecture is available via on-demand-streaming from this website.
