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 …

The mammalian main olfactory bulb is a crucial processing centre for the sense of smell. The
olfactory bulb forms early during development and is functional from birth. However, the …

In most sensory modalities, neuronal connectivity reflects behaviorally relevant stimulus
features, such as spatial location, orientation, and sound frequency. By contrast, the …

The olfactory bulb receives rich glutamatergic projections from the piriform cortex. However,
the dynamics and importance of these feedback signals remain unknown. Here, we use …

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 …

Synaptic inhibition critically influences sensory processing throughout the mammalian brain,
including the main olfactory bulb (MOB), the first station of sensory processing in the …

The serotonergic raphe nuclei are involved in regulating brain states over timescales of
minutes and hours. We examined more rapid effects of raphe activation on two classes of …

Projection neurons (PNs) in the mammalian olfactory bulb (OB) receive input from the nose
and project to diverse cortical and subcortical areas. Morphological and physiological …

A fundamental problem in systems neuroscience is mapping the physical properties of a
stimulus to perceptual characteristics. In vision, wavelength translates into color; in audition …

Processing of sensory information is substantially shaped by centrifugal, or feedback,
projections from higher cortical areas, yet the functional properties of these projections are …
