Adult-neurogenesis allows for representational stability and flexibility in early olfactory system

This study shows adult-neurogenesis supports both stable and flexible odor representations in the olfactory system through experience-dependent mechanisms in different brain regions.

Oscillatory Control of Cortical Space as a Computational Dimension

The paper tests the Spatial Computing hypothesis by analyzing alpha/beta oscillations in non-human primates, finding they organize task-related information and constrain sensory expression in space.

Top-down feedback enables flexible coding strategies in olfactory cortex

The paper demonstrates that top-down feedback to the olfactory bulb allows the olfactory cortex to switch between temporal and combinatorial coding strategies, improving odor discrimination performance.

Top-down Control of Inhibition Reshapes Neural Dynamics Giving Rise to a Diversity of Computations

The paper uses a rate model to show that top-down feedback to inhibitory neurons generates diverse network dynamics and supports computations like pattern separation and gamma oscillations.
