The nucleus of the lateral olfactory tract is required for learning odor-guided food avoidance

The paper identifies the nucleus of the lateral olfactory tract (NLOT) as critical for odor-aversion learning but not for other odor-guided behaviors or fear conditioning.

Synaptic connectivity and electrophysiological properties of the nucleus of the lateral olfactory tract

This study characterizes the synaptic connectivity and electrophysiological properties of the nucleus of the lateral olfactory tract (NLOT) in mice, revealing its role in integrating olfactory and amygdalar inputs to assign emotional value to odors.

Aberrant circuitry underlying olfaction in the face of severe olfactory bulb degeneration

This study shows that olfactory function can be preserved in mice with severe olfactory bulb degeneration due to altered circuitry compensating for lost structures.
