Title: "Sensing the chemical world and making sense of it"

Host: Rachele Catalano (CMCB)

Abstract:
Animals sense the chemical world to guide their behaviors. Fluctuating mixtures of odorants, often transported in fluid environments, are detected by an array of chemical sensors and parsed by neural circuits to recognize odor objects that can inform behavioral decisions. We are interested in understanding the algorithms used by animals to make sense of the chemical world, and the neural implementation of these strategies. I will present a few examples of work from our group that illustrate our approach.
