The ongoing exponential rise in recording capacity calls for new approaches for analysing
and interpreting neural data. Effective dimensionality has emerged as an important property …

Conscious experiences involve subjective qualities, such as colours, sounds, smells and
emotions. In this Perspective, we argue that these subjective qualities can be understood in …

Perceptual constancy requires the brain to maintain a stable representation of sensory input.
In the olfactory system, activity in primary olfactory cortex (piriform cortex) is thought to …

Olfactory systems must detect and discriminate amongst an enormous variety of odorants.
To contend with this challenge, diverse species have converged on a common strategy in …

Recent studies have shown that neuronal representations gradually change over time
despite no changes in the stimulus, environment, or behavior. However, such …

The ability to associate reward-predicting stimuli with adaptive behavior is frequently
attributed to the prefrontal cortex, but the stimulus-specificity, spatial distribution, and stability …

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 …

Generation of neuronal diversity is a biological strategy widely used in the brain to process
complex information. The olfactory bulb is the first relay station of olfactory information in the …

Odor perception is inherently subjective. Previous work has shown that odorous molecules
evoke distributed activity patterns in olfactory cortices, but how these patterns map on to …

Elucidating the neural circuits supporting odor identification remains an open challenge.
Here, we analyze the contribution of the two output cell types of the mouse olfactory bulb …
