My laboratory’s research is concerned with the physiology of the senses of taste and smell in fish. Fish are capable of detecting through either chemical sense extremely low levels of particular organic compounds in the environment. The primary experimental animal used in our research is the freshwater channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus, which possesses well-developed olfactory and gustatory systems. The majority of our recent work involves studies of the processing of odor information from the receptor cell through to various regions of the forebrain. We are interested in questions related to the coding of odor information; i.e. the neural organization of the olfactory system that allows for the identification of the stimulus.
