Jay Gottfried is the Arthur H. Rubenstein University Professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine. His research focuses on human olfactory neuroscience, investigating how odor perception is processed in limbic circuits related to emotion, learning, and memory. He employs advanced techniques like functional MRI (fMRI) and intracranial EEG to study olfactory systems, with recent work exploring olfactory navigation using grid-like neural representations and interactions between sensory cortices.
Education: A.B. in Molecular Biology from Princeton University; M.D. and Ph.D. in Physiology and Neuroscience from NYU School of Medicine. Postdoctoral training in olfactory neuroscience at University College London.
Research Interests include odor coding, oscillations in the piriform cortex, and translational studies linking olfactory dysfunction to neurodegenerative diseases. Notable projects involve odor categorization, fear learning, and sleep-dependent memory consolidation. His lab bridges human and rodent studies to elucidate olfactory mechanisms.
Key findings include temporal segregation of nostril odor signals, grid-cell-like representations in olfactory navigation, and the role of piriform cortex in integrating sensory information. He collaborates on developing high-resolution imaging and EEG techniques to map olfactory circuits.
