Synchronous rhythms represent a core mechanism for sculpting temporal coordination of
neural activity in the brain-wide network. This review focuses on oscillations in the cerebral …

The simplicity and accessibility of the olfactory systems of insects underlie a body of
research essential to understanding not only olfactory function but also general principles of …

Neuronal oscillations in the gamma band (30–80 Hz) have been suggested to play a central
role in feature binding or establishing channels for neural communication. For these …

Odors elicit spatiotemporal patterns of activity in the brain. Spatial patterns arise from the
specificity of the interaction between odorants and odorant receptors expressed in different …

Sensory stimuli evoke neural activity that evolves over time. What features of these
spatiotemporal responses allow the robust encoding of stimulus identity in a multistimulus …

In most sensory modalities the underlying physical phenomena are well understood, and
stimulus properties can be precisely controlled. In olfaction, the situation is different. The …

Odorants are represented as spatiotemporal patterns of spikes in neurons of the antennal
lobe (AL; insects) and olfactory bulb (OB; vertebrates). These response patterns have been …

Calling female moths attract their mates late at night with intermittent release of a species-
specific sex-pheromone blend. Mean frequency of pheromone filaments encodes distance …

In their natural environment, animals face complex and highly dynamic olfactory input. Thus
vertebrates as well as invertebrates require fast and reliable processing of olfactory …

Targeted delivery of nanoscale carriers containing packaged payloads to the central
nervous system has potential use in many diagnostic and therapeutic applications …
