This federal Project Grant award for $423,500 from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under CFDA 93.173 - Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders will fund research at Florida State University to investigate how the piriform cortex (PCX) region of the brain encodes olfactory information.

The research project aims to examine how individual and ensemble PCX neurons encode odor identity across different concentration regimes, and how these neural coding principles relate to perceptual sensitivity. High-density electrophysiological recordings spanning the PCX will be used to analyze neural activity in conjunction with robust behavioral measures of olfactory sensitivity. This innovative approach will provide unique insights into the neuronal mechanisms underlying odor processing and perception. The award period runs from September 2024 through August 2026.
