In mammals, odor information detected by olfactory sensory neurons is converted to a
topographic map of activated glomeruli in the olfactory bulb. Mitral cells and tufted cells …

The mammalian main olfactory bulb is a crucial processing centre for the sense of smell. The
olfactory bulb forms early during development and is functional from birth. However, the …

Humans can identify visual objects independently of view angle and lighting, words
independently of volume and pitch, and smells independently of concentration. The …

INTRODUCTION Advances in monitoring brain activity at large and fine scales have
revealed tremendous complexity in how the brain responds to, and represents, the external …

Memory is coded by patterns of neural activity in distinct circuits. Therefore, it should be
possible to reverse engineer a memory by artificially creating these patterns of activity in the …

Sensory processing in olfactory systems is organized across olfactory bulb glomeruli,
wherein axons of peripheral sensory neurons expressing the same olfactory receptor co …

Sensory systems transform the external world into time-varying spike trains. What features of
spiking activity are used to guide behavior? In the mouse olfactory bulb, inhalation of …

An important technological revolution is underway in the field of neuroscience as we begin
the 21st century. The combination of optical methods with genetically encoded …

How is sensory information represented in the brain? A long-standing debate in neural
coding is whether and how timing of spikes conveys information to downstream neurons …

Microglia play important roles in perinatal neuro-and synapto-genesis. To test the role of
microglia in these processes during adulthood, we examined the effects of microglia …
