DESCRIPTION:For a long time\, olfaction - the sense of smell - has been ov
 erlooked in research\, mainly due to the difficulties of analysing odours
 … a volatile and changing set of molecules whose perception is often sub
 jective. However\, with growing interest in this sense over the last 50 ye
 ars (and even more so after the covid crisis) we now have some understandi
 ng of the biological processes involved in olfaction. Today\, the discover
 y of one biological phenomenon in particular is driving the olfactory comm
 unity: regeneration. Unlike other parts of the brain\, the olfactory syste
 m sees continuous generation of new neurons throughout life. The role of t
 hese neurons is still not fully understood and is the subject of research 
 in our laboratory.
