Local olfactory nerve stimulation triggers patchy activation of columns across rat olfactory bulb

The paper provides direct evidence for functional columnar organization in the rat olfactory bulb using activity-dependent labeling and tissue clearing.

Synergistic olfactory nerve input and cholinergic neuromodulation can activate ERK in rat olfactory bulb vasopressin cells

Blood pressure pulsations modulate olfactory bulb neuronal activity via mechanosensitive ion channels

Top-down acetylcholine contributes to social discrimination via enabling action potentials in olfactory bulb vasopressin cells

The paper shows that top-down acetylcholine enables action potentials in olfactory bulb vasopressin cells, contributing to social discrimination in rats.

Concerted but segregated actions of oxytocin and vasopressin within the ventral and dorsal lateral septum determine female aggression

This study investigates the role of oxytocin and vasopressin in female aggression using a rat model, finding that increased oxytocin in the ventral lateral septum and decreased vasopressin in the dorsal lateral septum are required for aggression.

Local postsynaptic signalling on slow time scales in reciprocal olfactory bulb granule cell spines matches asynchronous release

The paper investigates slow postsynaptic signaling in olfactory bulb granule cell spines and shows it enables asynchronous GABA release through multiple local mechanisms.

Presynaptic NMDA receptors cooperate with local action potentials to implement activity-dependent GABA release from the reciprocal olfactory bulb granule cell spine

The paper investigates how presynaptic NMDA receptors work with local action potentials to enable activity-dependent GABA release from olfactory bulb granule cells.

Dendritic integration in olfactory bulb granule cells: Thresholds for lateral inhibition and role of active conductances upon simultaneous activation.

This study investigates how olfactory bulb granule cells integrate signals through dendritic spikes and identifies low thresholds for lateral inhibition.
