Distinct lateral inhibitory circuits drive parallel processing of sensory information in the mammalian olfactory bulb
Splitting sensory information into parallel pathways is a common strategy in sensory systems. Yet, how circuits in these parallel pathways are composed to maintain or even enhance the encoding of specific stimulus features is poorly understood. Here, we have investigated the parallel pathways formed by mitral and tufted cells of the olfactory system in mice and characterized the emergence of fe...
متن کاملInhibitory circuits of the mammalian main 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 olfactory system. Decades of research across numerous laboratories have established a central role for granule cells (GCs), the most abundant GABAergic interneuron type in the MOB, in the precise regulation of princi...
متن کاملDendritic processing within olfactory bulb circuits.
Odors elicit a well-organized pattern of activation in glomeruli across the surface of the olfactory bulb. However, the mechanisms by which this map is transformed into an odor code by the bulb circuitry remain unclear. Recent physiological studies in bulb slices have identified several synaptic processes that could be involved in sharpening odorant signals. Mitral cells within a single odorant...
متن کاملDynamic Ensemble Odor Coding in the Mammalian Olfactory Bulb: Sensory Information at Different Timescales
Neural firing discharges are often temporally patterned, but it is often ambiguous as to whether the temporal features of these patterns constitute a useful code. Here we show in the mouse olfactory bulb that ensembles of projection neurons respond with complex odor- and concentration-specific dynamic activity sequences developing below and above sniffing frequency. Based on this activity, almo...
متن کاملInformation processing in the mammalian olfactory system.
Recently, modern neuroscience has made considerable progress in understanding how the brain perceives, discriminates, and recognizes odorant molecules. This growing knowledge took over when the sense of smell was no longer considered only as a matter for poetry or the perfume industry. Over the last decades, chemical senses captured the attention of scientists who started to investigate the dif...
