Save the date! This year’s Konrad Akert Lecture will be held by Prof. Catherine Dulac from Harvard University. She will talk about her work on neuronal circuits underlying social behaviors, and the contribution of genomic imprinting in the brain on neural functions.
The Konrad Akert Lecture is organized by the Institute for Brain Research (HiFo). The lecture is planned for Monday, June 8, at 17h on UZH Irchel Campus.
Further information will be provided prior to the lecture.

Image: TRPC2 labeling (green) in the mouse vomeronasal organ (VNO). The VNO is a sensory organ that is found in most terrestrial vertebrates and that is principally implicated in the detection of pheromones. TRPC2 is an ion channel specifically expressed in the VNO and essential for vomeronasal signal transduction, involved in pheromone-mediated behaviors.
