>Título: Coding of olfactory information visualized by optical imaging in 
>the Drosophila antennal lobe
>
>Abstract:
>The chemical senses ­ taste and smell ­ are evolutionarily the most 
>ancient animal senses. They are characterized by a multidimensional and 
>diverse stimulus space, that cannot be classified along any small set of 
>dimensions. Animals detect these odors with specialized olfactory sensory 
>neurons and cope with the problem of recognizing an extremely large number 
>of different odorants by programming a very large number of functionally 
>different olfactory neurons. Odors activate these neurons and generate 
>specific activity patterns which can be visualized by optical recording 
>methods. The olfactory information is further processed before it is 
>relayed to higher-order brain centers. The neural mechanisms and plastic 
>components that modulate and process the olfactory information is the 
>topic of my research: by profiting from genetic tools that are available 
>in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster and linking it to neuronal 
>physiological, molecular biological and behavioral methods, we are 
>investigating basic principles involved in olfactory coding, processing 
>and perception of odors.
