I am interested in how the olfactory system processes odors so that an animal responds with the correct behavior to a particular stimulus. To get at this question, I am training mice to associate a particular odorant with either a positive, negative, or social stimulus. Following learninig, I look for immediate early gene activation in the olfactory bulb and secondary olfactory structures following exposure to that odorant. I am also interested in how learning affects neurogenesis in the olfactory bulb.
