The glomeruli of the olfactory bulb are the first site of synaptic processing in the olfactory
system. The glomeruli contain three types of neurons that are referred to collectively as …

Glomeruli, the initial sites of synaptic processing in the olfactory system, contain at least
three types of neurons collectively referred to as juxtaglomerular (JG) neurons. The role of …

In rat olfactory bulb slices, external tufted (ET) cells spontaneously generate spike bursts.
Only ET cells affiliated with the same glomerulus exhibit significant synchronous activity …

The glomeruli of the main olfactory bulb are the first processing station of the olfactory
pathway, where complex interactions occur between sensory axons, mitral cells and a …

In the mammalian olfactory bulb, glomeruli are surrounded by a heterogeneous population
of interneurons called juxtaglomerular neurons. As they receive direct input from olfactory …

Olfactory nerve axons terminate in olfactory bulb glomeruli forming excitatory synapses onto
the dendrites of mitral/tufted (M/T) and juxtaglomerular cells, including external tufted (ET) …

Odors synchronize the activity of olfactory bulb mitral cells that project to the same
glomerulus. In vitro, a slow rhythmic excitation intrinsic to the glomerular network persists …

The activity of mitral and tufted cells, the principal neurons of the olfactory bulb, is modulated
by several classes of interneurons. Among them, diverse periglomerular (PG) cell types …

Lateral inhibition between neurons occurs in many different sensory systems, where it can
perform such functions as contrast enhancement. In the olfactory bulb, lateral inhibition may …

Sensory processing shapes our perception. In mammals, odor information is encoded by
combinatorial activity patterns of olfactory bulb (OB) glomeruli. Glomeruli are richly …
