  20. Super interesting article on research in to the sense of smell from Quanta Magazine:

    quantamagazine.org/how-smell-g

    Smell is strongly linked to memory, and we may not even consciously notice the memory being created, but may be triggered later with that scent.

    Very cool!

  22. "Sniffing, searching, naming: These actions enable us to more thoughtfully engage with our environment. The more I sniffed at bark, the more confused I became. What did pine even smell like, anyway? It was only when I stepped back that the forest came into view. Iconic and piney, certainly, but also so much more." —Katy Kelleher for Nautilus Magazine

  28. New preprint with @urihasson : biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/
    First #calciumimaging of the #honeybee brain during #sleep.
    #Machinelearning distinguishes sleep from wakefulness with 93% accuracy in #olfactory network. Clearest difference: the #neuralnetwork state. Nodes are more synchronized during sleep.
    A simulation shows reduced inhibitory coupling during sleep, meaning less information processing. Increased inhibition during wakefulness leads to highly distinguishable odour maps. #CIMeC #UniTrento

  34. #Evolution of #nasal and #olfactory #infection characteristics of #SARS-CoV-2 #variants jci.org/articles/view/174439 J Clin Invest.

    Together, our study characterized the nasal #tropism of SARS-CoV-2 strains, immune #clearance, and #regeneration after infection. The shifting characteristics of viral infection at the #airway #portal provide insight into the variability of COVID-19 clinical features, particularly long COVID, and may suggest differing strategies for early local intervention.

  35. Hi Everyone.

    At the beginning of the year I received notice I've got my first funding as a new PI. It's for an ambitious project to look at how the main olfactory system in mice enables individualized social interactions. I wanted to hire a postdoc before, but now I really really want to hire a postdoc. If you know anyone who is at the right stage and might think the picture attached to this post looks cool, please can you share? There's a lot more to it than what's in the diagrams here.
