New neurons are continually recruited throughout adulthood in certain regions of the adult
mammalian brain. How these cells mature and integrate into preexisting functional circuits …

Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling controls many aspects of ontogeny,orchestrating congruent
growth and patterning. During brain development, Shh regulates early ventral patterning …

Odor discrimination times and their dependence on stimulus similarity were evaluated to
test temporal and spatial models of odor representation in mice. In a go/no-go operant …

Reports indicate an association between COVID-19 and anosmia, as well as the presence
of SARS-CoV-2 virions in the olfactory bulb. To test whether the olfactory neuroepithelium …

Long-term synaptic potentiation (LTP) is thought to be a key process in cortical synaptic
network plasticity and memory formation 1 . Hebbian forms of LTP depend on strong …

Neural firing discharges are often temporally patterned, but it is often ambiguous as to
whether the temporal features of these patterns constitute a useful code. Here we show in the …

Olfactory stimuli have been known for a long time to elicit oscillations in olfactory brain areas.
In the olfactory bulb (OB), odors trigger synchronous oscillatory activity that is believed to …

To understand gustatory physiology and associated dysfunctions it is important to know how
oral taste stimuli are encoded both in the periphery and in taste-related brain centres. The …

Discrimination between foods is crucial for the nutrition and survival of animals. Remarkable
progress has been made through molecular and genetic manipulations in the …

Cortical dynamics can be imaged at high spatiotemporal resolution with voltage-sensitive
dyes (VSDs) and calcium-sensitive dyes (CaSDs). We combined these two imaging …
