Remarkable advances in our understanding of olfactory perception have been made in
recent years, including the discovery of new mechanisms of olfactory signaling and new …

In both insect and vertebrate olfactory systems only two synapses separate the sensory
periphery from brain areas required for memory formation and the organisation of behaviour …

Local interneurons are essential in information processing by neural circuits. Here we
present a comprehensive genetic, anatomical and electrophysiological analysis of local …

Sensory perception is not a simple feed-forward process, and higher brain areas can
actively modulate information processing in" lower" areas. We used optogenetic methods to …

Centrifugal serotonergic fibers innervate the olfactory bulb, but the importance of these
projections for olfactory processing is unclear. We examined serotonergic modulation of …

Within glomeruli, the initial sites of synaptic integration in the olfactory pathway, olfactory
sensory axons terminate on dendrites of projection and juxtaglomerular (JG) neurons. JG …

In the olfactory bulb, odor representations by principal mitral cells are modulated by local
inhibitory circuits. While dendrodendritic synapses between mitral and granule cells are …

Modern neuroscience has demonstrated how the adult brain has the ability to profoundly
remodel its neurons in response to changes in external stimuli or internal states. However …

The dynamics of sensory input to the nervous system play a critical role in shaping higher-
level processing. In the olfactory system, the dynamics of input from olfactory receptor …

Cholinergic modulation of central circuits is associated with active sensation, attention, and
learning, yet the neural circuits and temporal dynamics underlying cholinergic effects on …
