The smell of blue light: a new approach towards understanding an olfactory neuronal network

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2011
Olfaction is one of the most important senses throughout the animal kingdom. It enables animals to discriminate between a wide variety of attractive and repulsive odorants and often plays a decisive role in species specific communication. In recent years

Exploring olfactory sensory networks: Simulations and hardware emulation [PDF]

, 2010
Olfactory stimuli are represented in a highdimensional space by neural networks of the olfactory system. A great deal of research in olfaction has focused on this representation within the first processing stage, the olfactory bulb (vertebrates) or ...

Gain Control and Sparse Representations in the Olfactory System of the Locust and Fly [PDF]

, 2010
The giant GABAergic neuron (GGN) is a single, paired, non-spiking neuron that arborizes extensively in the mushroom body (MB) of the locust (Leitch and Laurent, 1996), where it overlaps with the dendrites and the axons of Kenyon cells (KCs).

Dopaminergic modulation of odor responses by local interneurons in the olfactory bulb [PDF]

, 2011
The olfactory bulb is one of the few regions in the brain where dopamine is provided locally by an intrinsic population of GABAergic interneurons but their role in processing of sensory information remains ambiguous.

Functional Reintegration of Sensory Neurons and Transitional Dendritic Reduction of Mitral/Tufted Cells during Injury-Induced Recovery of the Larval Xenopus Olfactory Circuit

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2017
Understanding the mechanisms involved in maintaining lifelong neurogenesis has a clear biological and clinical interest. In the present study, we performed olfactory nerve transection on larval Xenopus to induce severe damage to the olfactory circuitry ...

Hedonic taste in Drosophila revealed by olfactory receptors expressed in taste neurons. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2008
Taste and olfaction are each tuned to a unique set of chemicals in the outside world, and their corresponding sensory spaces are mapped in different areas in the brain.

Olfactory ensheathing glia are required for embryonic olfactory axon targeting and the migration of gonadotropin-releasing hormone neurons

Biology Open, 2013
Summary Kallmann's syndrome is caused by the failure of olfactory axons and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons to enter the embryonic forebrain, resulting in anosmia and sterility.

Resolving different presynaptic activity patterns within single olfactory glomeruli of Xenopus laevis larvae

Scientific Reports, 2021
Olfactory sensing is generally organized into groups of similarly sensing olfactory receptor neurons converging into their corresponding glomerulus, which is thought to behave as a uniform functional unit.

Topological reorganization of odor representations in the olfactory bulb. [PDF]

, 2007
Odors are initially represented in the olfactory bulb (OB) by patterns of sensory input across the array of glomeruli. Although activated glomeruli are often widely distributed, glomeruli responding to stimuli sharing molecular features tend to be ...

Reconstruction of neuronal activity and connectivity patterns in the zebrafish olfactory bulb [PDF]

, 2016
In the olfactory bulb (OB), odors evoke distributed patterns of activity across glomeruli that are reorganized by networks of interneurons (INs). This reorganization results in multiple computations including a decorrelation of activity patterns across ...
