We are excited to announce that two new research projects in our group got funded by RWTH Aachen’s Exploratory Research Space (25th call „Bioinspired Sensory Systems“).
Dr. Christopher Wiesbrock, Prof. Dr. Simon Musall (Institute for Biology II, RWTH Aachen), and Dr. Viviana Rincón Montes (Research Center Jülich, Institute of Bioelectronics, IBI-3), lead a project that aims to record neural activity from the accessory olfactory bulb (AOB) in freely-moving mice. This interdisciplinary approach combines advanced microelectrode technology, neural data analysis, and behavioral studies to gain unprecedented insights into pheromone processing.
Dr. Andres Hernandez-Clavijo and Dr. Natja Haag (Institute for Human Genetics and Genomic Medicine, Medical Faculty, RWTH Aachen University) lead the project „Deciphering the neuronal diversity linking pheromone signaling and behavior regulation in the mammalian brain“. With this seed funds, Dr. Andres Hernandez-Clavijo and Dr. Haag would like to investigate the transcriptomic profiling of the neuronal heterogeneity in the mouse accessory olfactory bulb at single cell resolution.
Congratulations to everyone involved for bringing these exciting projects to life!
