Abstract
The overall aim of this project is to determine how chemosensory information is processed and integrated in neuronal networks. Does its processing follow the same organisational rules as those for the processing and integration of exteroceptive and proprioceptive information? Three main objectives will be addressed. First, what central neurones are responsible for the processing of chemical signals? Second, how are different chemicals encoded in neuronal networks and what pathways are responsible for their processing and integration with other sensory modalities? Third, how are the central projections of the chemosensory afferents organised in the CNS and what rules govern their patterns of projections? The results of this work will go a long way in helping us to understand the processing and coding of chemical stimulants within the central nervous system.
