How do mammals convert dynamic odor information into neural maps for landscape navigation? Odors contain complex spatiotemporal information that guide animal behavior, but how this information is processed is not fully understood. This Essay discusses recent advances in mammalian olfactory ...

Check out our new review in PLoS Biology on how dynamic odour information can help mammals to navigate through their environment.
Led by the fantastic Anantu Sunil & Olivia Pedroncini, this also marks my first last author publication from the University of Bonn!

ICYMI: we wrote a book. It's a free PDF, but you can also get a physical copy just in time for the holidays. Probably. I dunno. We don't actually get money from it.

This was a labour of love by Hannah & Bruno. Also I helped. Stocking stuffer idea: USB loaded with The #Drosophila Immunity Handbook 🪰
