Tomoko Ohyama is a Professor in the Department of Biology at McGill University. Her research focuses on understanding the neural circuits involved in behavioral choices, particularly in Drosophila, where she explores how these circuits allow animals to select appropriate actions in response to varied stimuli. Ohyama employs a range of sophisticated techniques, including high-throughput behavioral analysis and transmission electron microscopy, to investigate the relationships between neuronal activity and behavior. She is particularly interested in elucidating the mechanisms by which sensory information is integrated within the nervous system to guide decision-making. Since her appointment at McGill in 2018, she has contributed significantly to the field of neuroscience, with a strong emphasis on the intersection of behavior, genetics, and circuit-level analysis.
