The chemosensory roles of cilia: Integral roles beyond odor detection
Hahn Lecture Hall
Chair/s:
Nathalie Jurisch-Yaksi, Jeremy McIntyre
In the olfactory system, the cilia that extend from olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) are well known for their role in detecting chemical stimuli. In addition to OSNs, cilia project from nearly all cell types and contribute in various ways to the detection of chemical cues. This symposium will address the numerous roles cilia play in chemosensory systems. Talks will focus on the development of olfactory cilia, bitter and sweet receptor function in motile cilia, as well as the roles of primary cilia in neuronal migration and in modulating olfactory signaling in the brain.
