Perceiving taste

Date of Event: March 25, 2013

Posted: March 15, 2013

GRANVILLE, Ohio—Taste perception is often explained as a simple coding scheme where individual neurons encode sweet, sour, bitter or salty flavors. “The Neural Population Dynamics of Taste Perception,” a lecture by Don Katz, associate professor of psychology at Brandeis University, will demonstrate that these characterizations are overly simplistic. The lecture will take place at 4:30 p.m. on Monday, March 25, in room 114 of Denison University’s Olin Science Hall (100 Sunset Hill Drive). The lecture, sponsored by Denison’s neuroscience program, is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Heather Rhodes at 740-587-6788 or visit www.denison.edu.
 
The neuroscience concentration at Denison is designed to offer students an interdisciplinary perspective on the nervous system and behavior.
