Abstract: (CIT): Olfaction plays a critical role in the behavior of many mammalian species and investigation on olfactory learning and memory in biologically significant contexts (olfactory block to pregnancy in mice, mother-infant recognition in sheep) is a principal focus of Dr. Keverne's current research activities. Related to this is the role of genomic imprinting for inbreeding avoidance via olfactory recognition in terms of the olfactory signals and behavioral responses. The importance of imprinted genes for mammalian brain development, evolution and behavior forms a key focus for their studies in Dr. Keverne's lab. NIH Neuroscience Seminar Series.
