Bradley H. Dickerson is an Assistant Professor at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute. His research focuses on understanding the motor output generated by structured and precise sensory input. Specifically, he studies the flight control circuitry of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, leveraging the powerful genetic toolkit available in this model organism to map, image, and manipulate neural circuits. His lab concentrates on unique structures in the flies, known as halteres, which serve as dual-function gyroscopes assisting in wingstroke structure. By employing an integrative approach, Dickerson combines in vivo imaging techniques, muscle physiology, and behavioral studies to investigate these neural mechanisms.
