Session Description
Smell is critical to navigation, hunting, predator detection, and other day-to-day activities in animals. Understanding the sense is crucial for the future development of robotic noses for purposes like search and rescue missions. Despite its essential role, our grasp of how the brain processes smell lags behind our knowledge of other senses like vision. Researchers will share recent insights into the cells and circuits recruited in scent processing and how they translate to behavior.
