题目：Human olfaction: From brain to behavior
报告摘要：Olfaction is the part of the central nervous system which allows organisms to gather information via molecules. A primal sense in most animals, it allows animals to locate food, find mate, and exchange social information. It is also a burgeoning area in psychology and neuroscience, and may yield important insight into predicting neurodegenerative disorders. In this talk, I will present work from my group in this area and discuss the implications for understanding not only the inner workings of olfaction but also its modulations of other senses.
