Rapid odorant metabolism organizes identity- and timing-based odor representations by olfactory bulb inputs and outputs

The paper shows that rapid odorant metabolism in the olfactory mucosa generates secondary odorants that reshape odor representations by introducing timing-based distinctions between inhaled and internally-generated odorants.

A mouse model of hemochromatosis-related mutations with brain iron dyshomeostasis exhibits loss of tyrosine hydroxylase expression in dopaminergic neurons and motor control impairment relevant to Parkinson's disease

This paper describes a mouse model with hemochromatosis-related mutations that exhibit parkinsonian features, including loss of tyrosine hydroxylase and motor impairments, supporting a causal link between iron dysregulation and Parkinson's disease.
