Odor representations are structured by heterogeneous tuning and concentration-dependence of functionally distinct olfactory sensory neuron subpopulations.

The paper examines how odorant representations in the olfactory bulb are structured by concentration-dependent tuning of functionally distinct OSN subpopulations across different concentration regimes.

Shapley Fields Reveal Chemotopic Organization in the Mouse Olfactory Bulb Across Diverse Chemical Feature Sets

The paper introduces Shapley fields to analyze chemotopic organization in the mouse olfactory bulb and finds weak spatial organization of chemical feature sensitivity across diverse feature sets.

Fast-spiking interneuron detonation drives high-fidelity inhibition in the olfactory bulb

The paper investigates how fast-spiking interneurons in the olfactory bulb provide high-fidelity inhibition through synaptic detonation mechanisms.

Mapping odorant sensitivities reveals a sparse but structured representation of olfactory chemical space by sensory input to the mouse olfactory bulb.

The paper maps odorant sensitivities in the mouse olfactory bulb, revealing a sparse and structured representation of olfactory chemical space through glomerular tuning properties.

Cell and circuit origins of fast network oscillations in the mammalian main olfactory bulb

The paper identifies differences in spike-time synchrony between mitral and tufted cells in the main olfactory bulb, revealing mechanisms for parallel sensory processing through differential synchrony.

Decoding the olfactory map: targeted transcriptomics link olfactory sensory neurons to glomeruli

The paper spatially maps olfactory receptors to glomeruli in the mouse olfactory bulb using targeted transcriptomics.

A novel olfactometer for efficient and flexible odorant delivery

This paper introduces a novel olfactometer that efficiently and flexibly delivers odorants with high temporal precision and no contamination, enabling precise mapping of odorants to neural activity.
