I'm currently trying to understand the molecular basis of some behaviors in animals with simple neural networks or circuits. I decided to work with Drosophila larvae in order to use its powerful genetics to drive optogenetic analysis.

My homepage can be reached at http://brunoafonso.com and it's updated somewhat regularly. It's directly correlated with my mood and workload. :) Mostly english.
I love music, sports and all kinds of fine arts, mainly photography, the art of capturing moments in time. I have a couple of online galleries (very outdated...)
- Olhares' gallery - portuguese site
- Treklens rocks! - I especially like the idea of seeing others galleries without ratings, etc, helping you make non-biased analysis of photos
My latest photos can normally be found on facebook.
