Simple Summary Dogs have an extraordinary olfactory capability, which far exceeds that of
humans. Dogs' sense of smell seems to be the main sense, allowing them to not only gather …

Essential oils are usually used in aromatherapy to alleviate anxiety symptoms. In
comparison to traditional drugs, essential oils have fewer side effects and more diversified …

Odor perception is inherently subjective. Previous work has shown that odorous molecules
evoke distributed activity patterns in olfactory cortices, but how these patterns map on to …

The ability to represent both stimulus identity and intensity is fundamental for perception.
Using large-scale population recordings in awake mice, we find distinct coding strategies …

Elucidating the neural circuits supporting odor identification remains an open challenge.
Here, we analyze the contribution of the two output cell types of the mouse olfactory bulb …

Smell plays a critical role in food choice and intake by influencing energy balance and body
weight. Malnutrition problems or modified eating behaviors have been associated with …

Olfactory information is encoded in lateral entorhinal cortex (LEC) by two classes of layer 2
(L2) principal neurons: fan and pyramidal cells. However, the functional properties of L2 …

Olfactory perception and behaviors critically depend on the ability to identify an odor across
a wide range of concentrations. Here, we use calcium imaging to determine how odor …

Human navigation relies on inputs to our paired eyes and ears. Although we also have two
nasal passages, there has been little empirical indication that internostril differences yield …

Mitral and tufted (M/T) cells in the olfactory bulb produce rich temporal patterns of activity in
response to different odors. However, it remains unknown how these temporal patterns are …
