🚨new paper alert
Blind mice use stereo olfaction, comparing smells between nostrils, to maintain a stable sense of direction. Blocking this ability disrupts their internal compass.
Kudos to @kasumbisa.bsky.social! Another cool chapter of the Trenholm-Peyrache collab😉

Excited to share the sequel to our 2022 paper! In this follow-up, we show that the stable head direction (HD) signals we reported in blind mice rely on stereo olfaction—that is, the comparison of odor info. between the two nostrils.

All the studies on canine olfaction are like “Dogs can detect bombs! drugs! tumors! and they MIGHT even smell what you’re thinking” and the studies on cats are like “Your cat can distinguish your scent from some stranger’s, but that doesn’t mean they like you”
