The paper introduces ADePT, a method for mapping neural circuit functional connectivity using optogenetic stimulation and two-photon imaging in mice.

The paper identifies an evolutionarily conserved mechanism in olfactory circuits that preserves odor concentration information through diverse second-order neuron responses, despite flat population-level averages.

This study shows that piriform cortex feedback to the olfactory bulb carries reward contingency signals and rapidly adapts during rule-reversal tasks in mice.

The paper shows reward and punishment rapidly activate VIP interneurons across the cortex in mice during learning.

The paper uses high-throughput sequencing to analyze neuronal projections in the mouse olfactory system and finds structured connectivity along the anterior-posterior axis.

The paper identifies a non-canonical feedforward pathway for odor recognition mediated by tufted cells in the olfactory bulb, challenging the traditional role of the piriform cortex.

The paper examines how odor features are represented in the input and output layers of the mouse olfactory bulb, finding that physical-chemical descriptors poorly predict neuronal representations.

This study shows that OMP deletion leads to functional and anatomical heterogeneity in olfactory glomeruli due to anomalous co-innervation by OSNs with different ORs.

This paper introduces a new light-sheet microscopy technique for high-resolution volumetric imaging of whole mouse brains.
