The Sense of Smell

 

General Director:
Bert Sakmann (Max Planck Institute, Heidelberg)

Organizers:

The School will explore the rapidly developing area of research on the sense of smell. We will raise questions ranging from genetics to evolution, with a strong emphasis on behaviour and neuroscience, such as how the brain encodes odour in varied creatures such as mice, honeybees, and humans.
