Understanding the fundamental mechanisms governing fluctuating oscillations in large-
scale cortical circuits is a crucial prelude to a proper knowledge of their role in both adaptive …

We survey recent analytical approaches to studying the spatiotemporal dynamics of
continuum neural fields. Neural fields model the large-scale dynamics of spatially structured …

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 …

In the insect olfactory system, oscillatory synchronization is functionally relevant and reflects
the coherent activation of dynamic neural assemblies. We examined the role of such …

The theory of coupled phase oscillators provides a framework to understand the emergent
properties of networks of neuronal oscillators. When the architecture of the network is …

High-frequency oscillations in the beta range (10–45 Hz) are most active in motor cortex
during motor preparation and are postulated to reflect the steady postural state or global …

Drosophila olfactory receptor neurons project to the antennal lobe, the insect analog of the
mammalian olfactory bulb. GABAergic synaptic inhibition is thought to play a critical role in …

To visualize odorant representations by receptor neuron input to the mouse olfactory bulb,
we loaded receptor neurons with calcium-sensitive dye and imaged odorant-evoked …

Olfactory space has a higher dimensionality than does any other class of sensory stimuli,
and the olfactory system receives input from an unusually large number of unique …

Recently, modern neuroscience has made considerable progress in understanding how the
brain perceives, discriminates, and recognizes odorant molecules. This growing knowledge …
