Axons from the olfactory bulb (OB) project to multiple central structures of the brain, many of
which, in turn, send axons back into the OB and/or to one another. These secondary sensory …

The ability to represent both stimulus identity and intensity is fundamental for perception.
Using large-scale population recordings in awake mice, we find distinct coding strategies …

Highlights•Odor information is encoded in the distributed activity of piriform cortex
neurons.•Piriform uses complementary coding strategies to represent odor identity and …

The piriform cortex (PC) is a key brain area involved in both processing and coding of
olfactory information. It is implicated in various brain disorders, such as epilepsy, Alzheimer's …

It is well established that seizures beget seizures, yet the cellular processes that underlie
progressive epileptogenesis remain unclear. Here, we use optogenetics to briefly activate …

Inhibitory microcircuits play an essential role in regulating cortical responses to sensory
stimuli. Interneurons that inhibit dendritic or somatic integration act as gatekeepers for neural …

Different coding strategies are used to represent odor information at various stages of the
mammalian olfactory system. A temporal latency code represents odor identity in olfactory …

The piriform cortex (PCx) receives direct input from the olfactory bulb (OB) and is the brain's
main station for odor recognition and memory. The transformation of the odor code from OB …

Neuronal computations critically depend on the connectivity rules that govern the
convergence of excitatory and inhibitory synaptic signals onto individual neurons. To …

The piriform cortex (PCx) is essential for the adaptive processing of olfactory information.
Neuromodulatory systems, including those utilizing serotonin, acetylcholine, noradrenaline …
