Many advances have been made in the last decade in the understanding of the
computational principles underlying olfactory system functioning. Neuromorphic Olfaction is …

Predicting reinforcement from sensory cues is beneficial for goal-directed behavior. In insect
brains, underlying associations between cues and reinforcement, encoded by dopaminergic …

The biological components of vertebrate and invertebrate chemical sensing systems are
now becoming well understood in terms of their structure and function. As a result, it is now …

Chemosensory signals allow vertebrates and invertebrates not only to orient in its
environment toward energy-rich food sources to maintain nutrition but also to avoid …

The diversity of herbivorous insects is attributed to their propensity to specialize on toxic
plants. In an evolutionary twist, toxins betray the identity of their bearers when herbivores …

Animal nervous systems are highly efficient in processing sensory input. The neuromorphic
computing paradigm aims at the hardware implementation of neural network computations …

It is highly desirable to obtain functional cells with specific olfactory receptors (ORs) for the
development of cell-based biosensors towards odorant detection. In this study, we explored …

Finding a rapid gas identification algorithm with high accuracy and a closed-form solution
that does not require any manual tuning of parameters is the major challenge to overcome in …

Tsetse fly exhibit species-specific olfactory uniqueness potentially underpinned by
differences in their chemosensory protein repertoire. We assessed 1) expansions of …

Predicting positive or negative reinforcement from environmental clues is essential to guide
decision making and goal-directed behavior. In insect brains the mushroom body is a central …
