Odor2Action network members led by Andreas Schaefer at The Francis Crick Institute, London, UK, publish a new paper challenging the idea that olfaction is a “slow sense”
This paper describes the results of experiments that demonstrate that the mammalian olfactory system has access to unexpectedly fast temporal features in odor stimuli. Using engineered fast odor delivery and measurement devices, the authors show that mice can detect temporal structure in odors at frequencies as high as 40 Hz. Read the paper in Nature here.
Odor2Action network members Tanya Sharpee and Yuansheng Zhou publish a new paper discussing hyperbolic geometry of gene expression
This paper describes a method for distinguishing hyperbolic and Euclidean geometry, introduces hyperbolic version of t-SNE for visualizing hierarchical data, and shows that gene expression in mammalian cells follows low-dimensional hyperbolic geometry. Read the paper in iScience here.
