Insect olfactory coding and memory at multiple timescales.
Insects can learn, allowing them great flexibility for locating seasonal food sources and avoiding wily predators. Because insects are relatively simple and accessible to manipulation, they provide good experimental preparations for exploring mechanisms underlying sensory coding and memory. Here we review how the intertwining of memory with computation enables the coding, decoding, and storage ...
متن کاملThe multiple timescales of memory
A few years ago, Yoshiko Kojima, Yoshiki Iwamoto, and Kaoru Yoshida (2004) took their monkey to a darkened room and measured its eye movements (saccades) in response to display of visual targets. Usually, when a target is shown at 10 o with respect to current fixation, the animal makes a 10 o saccade to foveate the target. If we define saccadic gain as the ratio between the displacement of the ...
متن کاملInsect olfactory memory in time and space.
Recent studies using functional optical imaging have revealed that cellular memory traces form in different areas of the insect brain after olfactory classical conditioning. These traces are revealed as increased calcium signals or synaptic release from defined neurons, and include a short-lived trace that forms immediately after conditioning in antennal lobe projection neurons, an early trace ...
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 کاملOlfactory coding in the insect brain: data and conjectures
Much progress has been made recently in understanding how olfactory coding works in insect brains. Here, I propose a wiring diagram for the major steps from the first processing network (the antennal lobe) to behavioral readout. I argue that the sequence of lateral inhibition in the antennal lobe, non-linear synapses, threshold-regulating gated spring network, selective lateral inhibitory netwo...
