Christiane Linster Associate Professor Neurobiology and Behavior Trained in electrical engineering, physics and neuroscience, I now use a  combination of computational modeling, electrophysiology and behavior to study learning and memory in the olfactory system with a strong focus on the role of neuromodulators. I teach classes in Systems Neuroscience and Computational Neuroscience.    Thomas Cleland Assistant Professor Dept. of Psychology My roots and interest are in systems biology. I am particularly interested in the organization of biological systems to solve practical problems. I integrate electrophysiology, animal behavior, and computational modeling to study the representation and transformation of sensory information in the olfactory system, particularly at the periphery. I also teach a class on the behavioral characterization of transgenic and mutant mice. Ann Marie McNamara Graduate Student Neurobiology and Behavior My thesis will examine the role secondary olfactory structures play in interpreting the behavioral meaning of odors.  I will look at the patterns of neuronal activation in these structures in mice in response to social odors that provide different information to different mice, depending on their sex and social status, as well as the effect learning has on the patterns of activation in these structures. Nathalie Mandairon Postdoctoral associate     My work focuses on how experience and learning influences olfactory perception.
