Molecular and Neuronal Basis of Innate Behaviors in the Mouse

Mar 18, 2015 (Wed) | 4:00 PM -5:00 PM
LKSC Building, Berg Hall A&B : Stanford, CA

What is the nature of the mammalian pheromones and of the receptors that detect them? How are pheromone signals processed in the brain to generate species- and sex-specific behaviors? What are the basic developmental processes that ensure appropriate neuronal connections between the olfactory sensory neurons and the brain? What are the respective roles of sensory experience and genetic information in setting appropriate pheromone-induced behaviors, and how are circuits underlying sex-specific behaviors established in the male and female brains?
