Understanding the neuronal mechanisms of closed-loop olfaction

US National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders grant open #nih-5R01DC020842-04

Summary

Project Summary In nature, sensory perception and motor processing operate in closed-loop. Self-generated movements impact sensory input, and sensory inputs guide future motor commands. Through experience, the brain may learn the reciprocal relationship between sensory inputs and movements in the form of generative sensorimotor models that predict the sensory consequences of upcoming actions. In vertebrates, olfaction is intrinsically linked to motor action through sniffing, and just as for other sensory modalities, via head and body movements. Due to technical challenges, however, most studie
