…the people with the brains, imagination and commitment to solve the world’s problems have the financial resources to attend a school that will cultivate them the way UCSD can.” More than 240 students have benefitted from the Engelhorns’ generosity. Engelhorn will join the Regents as the university system finds itself…

…sensory processes in the brain. Using a biophysically motivated model of odorant receptor neurons, the researchers show that competitive interactions between odorant molecules and olfactory receptors can be used to help the brain differentiate odors within olfactory-rich environments. First, the scientists noticed that odor molecules compete to bind to an…
