Overview

Summary

We work on the mammalian taste pathway, to understand how the nervous system integrates external and internal information to drive behavior and maintain homeostasis. Taste is largely impacted by our internal state (e.g. food tastes better when we are hungry); conversely, taste stimulation triggers downstream signaling responses, and long-term taste experience shapes physiology and behavior.
