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