Sensory Signaling in Model Organisms
This meeting brought together leading investigators working on sensory systems in various genetically tractable models to clarify common themes, as well as distinctions, among the different organisms. Topics included mechanosensation, olfaction, magnetoreception, chemosensation, gustation, phototransduction and others. There was a particular emphasis on animal behaviors driven by sensory signaling.
