Sex-steroid hormones in olfaction
Hahn Lecture Hall
Chair/s:
Tatjana Abaffy
Symposium theme revolves around the circulation derived sex-steroid hormones and also locally synthetized neurosteroids and their effects on the olfactory system. The idea is to present the current knowledge around the effects of these steroids on the olfactory system development, odor perception, pheromonal responses and social behavior.
