The paper identifies a low-dimensional hyperbolic map of fruit odor mixtures across ripening and fermentation stages, revealing spiral trajectories influenced by microbial processes.

This study shows that chronic exposure to natural odor concentrations in Drosophila does not reduce PN sensitivity but mildly increases responses to weak stimuli, indicating limited plasticity in early olfactory processing.

The paper examines how odor representations change across layers of the fly olfactory circuit, finding significant restructuring in the mushroom body that correlates with natural odor distribution patterns.

This study shows that early life exposure to natural odors increases attraction to familiar odors and decreases aversion to naturally aversive ones through an associative process.

The paper shows stimulus-selective lateral signaling between olfactory receptor neurons enables parallel encoding of CO2 dynamics through distinct channel representations.
