Research at the CESG focuses on the mechanisms of sensory systems, from perception to cognition and behavior with emphasis on chemical senses. The research topic of the lab involves investigating the plasticity of olfactory sensory neurons activity in transgenic mice using patch-clamp recordings andcalcium imaging (see Nature Neuroscience vol10, p348 and PNAS vol103(6) p1970).
