Yvonne Hertenberger

I’m passionate about collective behaviour, neurobiology, insect brains and much more. During my time here at the university of Konstanz, both throughout my master's thesis and my role as a HiWi in various neuro-insect projects, I’ve had the chance to explore my passions. During my master thesis, I investigated an immunohistochemical staining technique primarily in locusts, but I also had the chance to include different insects like the honey bee, the American cockroach and even the tiny fruit fly and its larvae. This gave me invaluable insights into the anatomical complexities of insect brains, their sensory perception mechanisms, how they see, smell and feel the world and how they react to it.
