However\, how opposing\, innate values of odors are represented and computed in the brain remains unclear. We are addressing this question in the olfactory circuit of fruit fly Drosophila\, by combining a behavioral analysis in virtual reality\, an imaging technique to track the activity of effectively all the neurons in each brain region\, a connectome analysis\, and simulation. I will discuss our latest findings on distinct subcircuits in the higher-order region that possess different connectivity motifs and compute opposing values of odors.
