The paper identifies molecularly defined subtypes of olfactory bulb output neurons and their distinct projection patterns to cortical targets.

This study investigates how mnemonic decision-making in mice involves a distributed frontal cortex network rather than a single comparator region.

This study investigates how mice encode odor information through spike rate, synchrony, and respiratory phase in the olfactory bulb using optogenetics and behavioral assays.

The paper investigates the dynamical mechanisms of gamma oscillations in the olfactory bulb of mice, showing they arise from coupled columnar oscillators that enable coherent network activity.

The paper shows reward-related inhibition in mitral cells of the olfactory bulb during odor discrimination, suggesting early value processing in sensory circuits.

This study investigates how stimulus timing affects the acquisition of an olfactory working memory task in mice, finding that shorter sample-test delays improve learning while shorter odour-reward intervals slow acquisition.

This study investigates how the olfactory bulb processes binary odor mixtures under different brain states in awake mice, finding that mixture representation is state-dependent but not strictly correlated with summation linearity.

The paper identifies cell-type specific genes in olfactory bulb projection neurons using single-cell RNA-seq and validates them as Cre-driver markers for genetic labeling.

The paper demonstrates that mammals can perceive temporal structure in odour stimuli at fast timescales, using a novel odour delivery system and behavioural experiments with mice.

This study shows the mouse olfactory bulb dynamically modulates neural responses based on stimulus tuning to enhance discriminability under different behavioural demands.

The paper shows that active sampling state enhances odor representation in the olfactory bulb during rapid learning.
