Research Summary
My research is directed toward the associative processes involved in olfactory and gustatory learning. I am currently pursuing two lines of investigation: 1) taste preferences and aversions conditioned solely within the stomach and the intestinal tract via taste receptors in the gut and 2) the contribution of the chorda tympani to salty taste in differing strains of mice. I am also interested in how olfactory signals contribute to changes in animal behavior in disease states.
