Each sensory system has peripheral receptors and specialized cells to translate the physical stimulus into patterns of electrical signals. Sensory systems then perform a series of common functions that allow the specific information to be integrated by the brain. This symposium brings together leaders who will discuss and compare the molecular events and higher cognition that occurs in the chemosensory, somatosensory, auditory and the visual systems.
