This project explores how the brain encodes the attractiveness of odors, particularly in relation to mosquito behavior. By studying the fruit fly's olfactory system, the research aims to uncover mechanisms that could inform strategies to control insect-borne diseases.
Mosquito-borne diseases present one of the greatest threats to human health.
Mosquitoes find humans by detecting human body odour and CO2 with their olfactory system.
This project addresses the fundamental and still unresolved question of how odorant valence is coded in the brain and why odorants that are attractive (positive valence) at low concentrations, switch to being repulsive (negative valence) at high concentrations.
This phenomenon of valence switch is well conserved throughout the anim…
