The Oxford Encyclopedia of Sensory Systems provides a comprehensive scholarly account of the diverse means that organisms use to interact with their environments, as well as the biological adaptations that shape these systems across species.More than 100 leading scholars were commissioned to write brand new articles for these volumes, contributing to a collective effort that presents both foundational and emerging topics in the field of sensory neuroscience. Organized into topical sections, across 61 long-form articles, the Encyclopedia examines the somotaosensory, vestibular, olfactory, and gustatory systems of vertebrates and invertebrates alike. Each peer-reviewed article provides a thorough summary of the subject at hand and deepens understanding by discussing the history of perspectives on the topic, the current state of the field, and future directions for research.As a work, the Encyclopedia serves as a valuable contribution and testament to the variety of scholarship within sensory neuroscience. Researchers, students, and professionals alike will turn to The Oxford Encyclopedia of Sensory Systems as a standard reference in the field.

W. Martin Usrey is editor of sensory systems for the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Neuroscience. He is Professor and Chair of Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior and Professor of Neurology at UC Davis. His research is focused on understanding the functional properties of neural circuits that serve vision and the relationship between circuit activity, behavior, and perception. He has authored over 70 publications and directed several international courses and conferences on sensory processing and thalamocortical relations. He is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers. The Usrey laboratory is home to Brainmaps.org, an interactive, high-resolution digital brain atlas and virtual microscope for students, educators, and researchers.S. Murray Sherman is Maurice Goldblatt Professor and Chairman in the Department of Neurobiology at the University of Chicago. His books include Functional Connections of CorticalAreas and Exploring the Thalamus and its Role in Cortical Function. Dr. Sherman is the author of more than 150 scientific papers, has served on the committees of several scientific organizations, and on the editorial boards of multiple journals, including Journal of Neuroscience, Visual Neurosciences, and Thalamus and Related Systems. He has held visiting academic positions at universities in the UK and China. The main focus of Dr. Sherman's research is directed towards understanding thalamic functional organization through a variety of interdisciplinary techniques. He is the Editor-in-Chief of the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Neuroscience.
