Chemosensation is essential for all forms of life, orchestrating several physiological processes, such as feeding, sexual behaviors, and body homeostasis. This course will review the function of chemosensory systems, including olfaction, gustatory and central chemoreception, among others. Through lectures and discussion of papers, we will examine the cell biology, systems neuroscience, and evolutionary aspects in these chemosensory systems.
