Sensory Biology
Explores the neural mechanisms underlying sensory systems: sensory receptor coding logic; signal transduction; neuronal circuitry; comparative analysis of model organisms. Related clinical disorders and therapeutic strategies are also discussed. A large emphasis is placed on the primary literature highlighting major advances in the field, aimed at building skills for designing experiments to test specific hypotheses.
