Project Summary

Animals–from flies to humans–use olfaction to find resources, such as food and mates. How do such different creatures, with such different brains, all share this ability? This team will work to uncover the algorithmic and mechanistic processes governing this deeply embedded behavior.

Participating Institutions

Our multi-disciplinary team includes researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder, University of California-Berkeley, Weill Cornell Medical College, the University of Pittsburgh, New York University Medical Center and the John Pierce B. Laboratory.

Project Funding

This project is one of three funded by a $15M National Science Foundation initiative to unravel the mysteries of olfaction. The awards expand the NSF’s investments in the president’s BRAIN Initiative, and are funded by NSF's Directorates for Biological Sciences and Mathematical and Physical Sciences.
