Olfactory processing in behaving animals, even at early stages, is inextricable from top down
influences associated with odor perception. The anatomy of the olfactory network (olfactory …

Single-unit recordings conducted during perceptual decision-making tasks have yielded
tremendous insights into the neural coding of sensory stimuli. In such experiments, detection …

Variability is a prominent feature of behavior and is an active element of certain behavioral
strategies. To understand how neuronal circuits control variability, we examined the …

Olfactory system beta (15–35 Hz) and gamma (40–110 Hz) oscillations of the local field
potential in mammals have both been linked to odor learning and discrimination. Gamma …

Studies of neuronal oscillations have contributed substantial insight into the mechanisms of
visual, auditory, and somatosensory perception. However, progress in such research in the …

Critical animal behaviors, especially among rodents, are guided by odors in remarkably well-
coordinated manners, yet many extramodal sensory cues compete for cognitive resources in …

Odors evoke gamma (40–100 Hz) and beta (20–30 Hz) oscillations in the local field
potential (LFP) of the mammalian olfactory bulb (OB). Gamma (and possibly beta) …

A major challenge in neuroscience is relating neuronal activity to animal behavior. In
olfaction limited techniques are available for these correlation studies in freely moving …

Odorous compounds perceived by humans or animal species produce a response in
chemical-or electronic-based analytical detection systems (chemical sensors, electronic …

For decades it has been known that the olfactory sensory epithelium can act like a
chromatograph, separating odorants based on their air–mucus sorptive properties. It has …
