Sensory bases of memory

 

In most Mammals, olfaction is a central sensory modality as it supports an array of crucial behaviors such as feeding, reproduction, maternal behavior and social interactions. Although specific odors can trigger innate responses, most odor stimuli acquire behavioral significance upon learning and experience. The goal of Lisa Roux and her team is to identify the network mechanisms underlying the formation of olfactory memory traces across distributed brain regions. More generally, it aims at understanding how sensory information is routed and processed in the brain to integrate lasting memories.
