Sensory Systems

This research line is interested in understanding how the brain represents the external world, working on the cellular and molecular neuroscience of sensory systems.

The role of internal diffusion in vertebrate phototransduction

Diffusion of second messengers, such as Calcium ions and cyclic nucleotides is at the basis of major biological mechanisms (Vincent Torre's lab)»

 

Sensory processing in the leech nervous system

By using newly developed voltage sensitive dyes we are investigating the parallel processing of sensory information in leech ganglia (Vincent Torre's lab)»

 
 

Molecular mechanisms of olfactory transduction

We are interested in understanding how the brain represents the external world. We are working in the cellular and molecular neuroscience of sensory systems, with a focus on olfaction (Anna Menini's lab)»
