Perceptual learning is required for olfactory function to adapt appropriately to changing odor
environments. We here show that newborn neurons in the olfactory bulb are not only …

Inhibitory interneurons of the olfactory bulb are subjected to permanent adult neurogenesis.
Their number is modulated by learning, suggesting that they could play a role in plastic …

Hedonic value is a dominant aspect of olfactory perception. Using optogenetic manipulation
in freely behaving mice paired with immediate early gene mapping, we demonstrate that …

Background Sensitive detection of sensory-evoked neuronal activation is a key to
mechanistic understanding of brain functions. Since immediate early genes (IEGs) are …

Sensory neural activity is highly context dependent and shaped by experience and
expectation. In the olfactory bulb (OB), the first cerebral relay of olfactory processing …

Inhibitory interneurons in the olfactory bulb are generated continuously throughout life in the
subventricular zone and differentiate into periglomerular and granule cells. Neural circuits …

Background It has recently been proposed that adult-born neurons in the olfactory bulb,
whose survival is modulated by learning, support long-term olfactory memory. However, the …

Associative learning contributes crucially to adjust the behavior of neonates to the
permanently changing environment. In the European rabbit, the mammary pheromone (MP) …

Neurogranin (Ng) is a brain-specific postsynaptic protein, whose role in modulating
Ca2+/calmodulin signaling in glutamatergic neurons has been linked to enhancement in …

Imprinting on kin occurs during the sixth day of larval development in zebrafish and depends
on olfactory signals. In rodents, the immediate early gene egr1 is involved in maintaining the …
