Waves and wafts: oscillations in central olfactory processing
Goethe Hall
Chair/s:
Veronica Egger, Diego Restrepo
The sense of smell has the complicated task of processing qualitatively multidimensional sensory input conveyed by turbulent odor plumes and paced by the respiratory rhythm. In addition, signal processing of olfactory input takes place under drastically different contextual circumstances. Our symposium will bring together an exciting set of speakers using a variety of experimental approaches that will discuss how olfactory system oscillations are generated, how they entrain activity in non-olfactory brain regions, how distance and direction of an odor source is encoded, and how oscillations contribute to multidimensional circuit processing and integrate with contextual circuit modulation.
