[email protected] | 25. 5. 2012

Spoštovani kolegi,

vabim vas na predavanje:

prof. Kentaro Arikawa z naslovom KAKO ŽUŽELKE VIDIJO BARVE

v ponedeljek, 28.5. ob 13. uri,
Predavalnica B1 biološkega središča, Večna pot 111, Lj.

Barvni vid se je razvil pri primatih, pticah, plazilcih, ribah, rakih in žuželkah. V naših raziskavah kot modelne organizme študiramo metulje (lastovičarje, beline, modrine). Raziskujemo nevronske mehanizme, ki omogočajo barvni vid, in njegovo evolucijo. Naša želja je razumeti, kako živali vidijo svet.

Življenjepis predavatelja: Kentaro Arikawa was born in 1957. He is currently a Full Proffesor at the Sokendai Graduate University Hayama and Editor of the Journal of Comparative Physiology A. In his research, Kentaro Arikawa specializes in neuro-behavioristics, animal physiology and aestho-physiology. He discovered a “third eye” on the abdomen of the swallowtail butterfly when he was a graduate school student. He is currently studying the underlying neural mechanisms of the colour sense using chiefly swallowtail butterflies. In his laboratory, he makes effective use of multidisciplinary experimental methods including behaviouristics, electro- and optophysiology, histology and molecular biology to study the sensory world of insects.
