Integrating conspecific odors into tilapia reproductive behaviour

Objective

The aim of FISHODOR is to establish the identity of neural network components of the recently discovered tilapia
reproductive pheromone. It will identify pheromone olfactory receptor(s) and their intracellular transduction pathways thereby
increasing our understanding of olfactory perception and signal integration of fish pheromones. The project will determine
the neuronal cell type (i.e. ciliated, microvillous or crypt-type olfactory receptor neurons) detecting the pheromone, it will
establish the transduction pathways (i.e. AC/cAMP or PLC/IP3) involved in its olfactory detection and will identify the
olfactory receptor(s) that binds the pheromone. If enough time is available it will attempt to map the neuronal network
involved in the neuroendocrine response. The combination of electrophysiology, transcriptomics and molecular biology will
bring high degree of novelty to explain the mechanism of action of olfactory receptor and neuronal signal integration.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

MSCA-IF-EF-ST - Standard EF

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
