DESCRIPTION:Carlos Ribeiro\, Behavior and Metabolism Lab\, Champalimaud Re
 search\, Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown\, Lisbon\, Portugal\nNutritio
 nal decisions are key determinants of health\, wellbeing and aging. We wan
 t to understand how animals decide what to eat and how these decisions aff
 ect the fitness of the animal. To achieve a mechanistic\, integrated\, who
 le-animal understanding of nutritional decision-making we work at the inte
 rface of behavior\, metabolism\, microbiome\, and physiology in the adult
  Drosophila melanogaster. I will discuss how the powerful combination of
  neurogenetics\, automated\, quantitative behavioral analyses\, nutritiona
 l and microbial manipulations\, and imaging approaches is allowing us to a
 chieve a mechanistic understanding of how neuronal circuits control nutrit
 ional decisions to regulate important traits such as aging and reproductio
