RESEARCH

The Cognitive Neuroimaging Laboratory at the Monell Chemical Senses Center conducts basic research aimed toward a better understanding of the cerebral basis for chemosensory processing. Several different lines of ongoing research explore how the human brain allows us to perceive, process, and understand chemosensory information. While all of our research shares a focus on chemo-perception and the human brain, each distinct approach falls into one of three major sub-fields: endogenous odors, the trigeminal system, or olfactory perception.
