Fluid turbulence is a double-edged sword for the navigation of macroscopic animals, such
as birds, insects, and rodents. On the one hand, turbulence enables pheromone …

The biological olfactory system is the sensory system responsible for the detection of the
chemical composition of the environment. Several attempts to mimic biological olfactory …

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 …

In recent years, multielectrode arrays and large silicon probes have been developed to
record simultaneously between hundreds and thousands of electrodes packed with a high …

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

INTRODUCTION Objects can appear remarkably stable despite the often fickle cues they
provide to our senses. For instance, a foraging mouse can identify and locate a piece of …

Principles of Neurobiology, Second Edition presents the major concepts of neuroscience
with an emphasis on how we know what we know. The text is organized around a series of …

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 …

INTRODUCTION Advances in monitoring brain activity at large and fine scales have
revealed tremendous complexity in how the brain responds to, and represents, the external …
