Sensory neural activity is highly context dependent and shaped by experience and
expectation. In the olfactory bulb (OB), the first cerebral relay of olfactory processing …

In awake rodents, the neural representation of olfactory information in the olfactory bulb is
largely dependent on brain state and behavioral context. Learning-modified neural plasticity …

Sensory systems must represent stimuli in manners dependent upon a wealth of factors,
including stimulus intensity and duration. One way the brain might handle these complex …

In sensory processing of odors, the olfactory bulb is an important relay station, where odor
representations are noise-filtered, sharpened, and possibly re-organized. An organization …

Natural odors, generally composed of many monomolecular components, are analyzed by
peripheral receptors into component features and translated into spatiotemporal patterns of …

Spatial and temporal activity patterns of olfactory bulb projection neurons underlie the initial
representations of odors in the brain. However, olfactory perception ultimately requires the …

The olfactory cortex encompasses several anatomically distinct regions each hypothesized
to provide differential representation and processing of specific odors. Studies exploring …

In primary sensory cortices, there are two main sources of excitation: afferent sensory input
relayed from the periphery and recurrent intracortical input. Untangling the functional roles of …

Odors are well known to elicit strong emotional and behavioral responses that become
strengthened throughout learning, yet the specific cellular systems involved in odor learning …

The most important task of the olfactory system is to generate a precise representation of
odour information under different brain and behavioural states. As the first processing stage …
