Odors are transported by seemingly chaotic plumes, whose spatiotemporal structure
contains rich information about space, with olfaction serving as a gateway for obtaining and …

Animal behavior and neural recordings show that the brain is able to measure both the
intensity and the timing of odor encounters. However, whether intensity or timing of odor …

This Perspective highlights the shift from the classic picture of olfaction as slow and static to
a view in which dynamics play a critical role at many levels of sensing and behavior …

Animals navigating turbulent odor plumes exhibit a rich variety of behaviors, and employ
efficient strategies to locate odor sources. A growing body of literature has started to probe …

Objective The olfactory bulb (OB) codes for sensory information and contributes to the
control of energy metabolism by regulating foraging and cephalic phase responses. Mitral …

In chemical sensation, multiple models have been proposed to explain how odors are
represented in the olfactory cortex. One hypothesis is that the combinatorial identity of active …

In natural odor environments, odor travels in plumes. Odor concentration dynamics change
in characteristic ways across the width and length of a plume. Thus, spatiotemporal …

Ongoing neural activity has been observed across several brain regions and is thought to
reflect the internal state of the brain. Yet, it is important to understand how ongoing neural …

To understand the operation of the olfactory system, it is essential to know how information is
encoded in the olfactory bulb. We applied Shannon information theoretic methods to …

In order to survive, animals often need to navigate a complex odor landscape where odors
can exist in airborne plumes. Several odor plume properties change with distance from the …
