Cells in the brain and nervous system develop using a variety of signaling cues, including stress and activity. The effects of these two mechanisms are intertwined in olfactory neurons, the cells in the nose responsible for smell (a sense that is often affected in patients with neurological diseases). We are proposing to disentangle the roles of these two signals across different stages of the olfactory neuron lifespan.
