Olfaction is a vitally important sense for all animals. There are striking similarities between
species in the organization of the olfactory pathway, from the nature of the odorant receptor …

How an object is perceived depends on the temporal context in which it is encountered.
Sensory signals in the brain also depend on temporal context, a phenomenon often referred …

Here we describe several fundamental principles of olfactory processing in the Drosophila
melanogaster antennal lobe (the analog of the vertebrate olfactory bulb), through the …

Neural firing discharges are often temporally patterned, but it is often ambiguous as to
whether the temporal features of these patterns constitute a useful code. Here we show in …

There is overwhelming evidence that presence of cancer alters cellular metabolic
processes, and these changes are manifested in emitted volatile organic compound (VOC) …

Stimulus repetition in identification tasks leads to improved behavioral performance
(“repetition priming”) but attenuated neural responses (“repetition suppression”) throughout …

We review data demonstrating that single-neuron sensory responses change with the states
of the neural networks (indexed in terms of spectral properties of local field potentials) in …

Odors evoke complex responses in locust antennal lobe projection neurons (PNs)—the
mitral cell analogs. These patterns evolve over hundreds of milliseconds and contain …

Sensory neural systems use spatiotemporal coding mechanisms to represent stimuli. These
time-varying response patterns sometimes outlast the stimulus. Can the temporal structure of …

Understanding how populations of neurons encode information is the challenge faced by
researchers in the field of neural coding. Focusing on the many mysteries and marvels of the …
