The department of biochemistry and molecular medicine at the Université de Montréal has a job opening for an assistant/ associate professor in the field of cryo-EM and its use to study fundamental questions in biology. Please email me for details or contact the department chair, Dr. Pascale Legault.

Olfactory neurons selectively respond to related visual and verbal cues Olfactory 'concept neurons' also respond to words and pictures.

Looking for papers in Nature in my field and stopped by this bonkers neuroscience finding

"a single piriform-cortex neuron fired strongly and selectively in response to the odour of liquorice and showed selective, albeit weaker, responses to images of liquorice and even to the word written out"🧪

A mouse is listening and smelling a cat.

We experience the world through a multitude of senses, and yet most studies of sensory perception focus on one sensory modality at a time. Our paper on how odors affect sound processing in now published in Journal of Neuroscience (1/5). www.jneurosci.org/content/44/4...

Perceptual constancy for an odor is acquired through changes in primary sensory neurons Learning-induced changes in primary sensory neurons support concentration-invariant perception of an odor.

We have a fresh new paper!
The PhD project of the talented Mark Conway.

A learning-induced change in the sensitivity of olfactory receptor neurons enables consistent perception of an odor. #olfaction #neuroscience

🪻NEW EPISODE🪻

Sense of smell is often the body’s first line of defence. It also links us emotionally to last memories - but how does it all work?

@emmakennedy.bsky.social is joined by Prof @barrycsmith.bsky.social and Prof Stuart J Firestein to find out.

Acquisition of non-olfactory encoding improves odour discrimination in olfactory cortex - Nature Communications Sensory processing can be influenced by non-sensory signals. Here, the authors demonstrate that, in the primary olfactory cortex, odour-responsive neurons acquire multiple non-sensory signals through ...

My first post @Bluesky
I am excited to share our two latest publications on olfactory cortex processing. I hope you find them interesting

Seeing many new #olfaction researches on Bluesky, nice! I made a starter pack for researchers and groups studying the sense of smell or taste. If you want to get added let me know.
