Zusammenfassung

The project is directed towards a better understanding of the molecular and cellular events that mediate mammalian chemical communication, specifically those events underlying complex social behaviors such as aggression, parent-offspring interactions, and mating. The overall goal is to integrate investigations aimed at understanding molecular membrane mechanisms underlying the recognition of specific signaling molecules in the peripheral olfactory system - such as pheromones and hormones - with endocrine and immune function. Recent insights have revolutionized the understanding of the ...
