| Description: | Nitric oxide is an important interneuronal signaling molecule that appears prominently in the olfactory systems of many species. Its synthetic enzyme neuronal nitric oxide synthase is concentrated within particular interneurons of the olfactory bulb, as are enzymes activated by nitric oxide that alter neuronal excitability. Using innovative new techniques, Dr. Gelperin’s laboratory explores many aspects of information processing by the olfactory system, including roles of nitric oxide.
Dr. Gelperin received his B.A. from Carleton College, his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania, and trained as a postdoc with Kenneth Roeder at Tufts University. He joined the faculty of the Biology Department at Princeton University as an assistant professor, and a few years later became Chairman of its Program in Neuroscience. Dr. Gelperin spent several very productive years as a member of the Biological Computation Research Department at Bell Labs. The recipient of numerous awards, Dr. Gelperin is presently a member of the Monell Chemical Senses Center, and an Adjunct Professor in the Neuroscience Department at the University of Pennsylvania.
