Odor Representations in Olfactory Cortex: “Sparse” Coding, Global Inhibition, and Oscillations
The properties of cortical circuits underlying central representations of sensory stimuli are poorly understood. Here we use in vivo cell-attached and whole-cell voltage-clamp recordings to reveal how excitatory and inhibitory synaptic input govern odor representations in rat primary olfactory (piriform) cortex. We show that odors evoke spiking activity that is sparse across the cortical popula...
متن کاملOlfactory Coding: Inhibition Reshapes Odor Responses
Olfactory information is dramatically restructured as it makes its way through the brain. Recent work using a remarkable experimental preparation has revealed how this transformation is achieved.
متن کاملOdor Representations in Olfactory Cortex: Distributed Rate Coding and Decorrelated Population Activity
VIDEO ABSTRACT How information encoded in neuronal spike trains is used to guide sensory decisions is a fundamental question. In olfaction, a single sniff is sufficient for fine odor discrimination but the neural representations on which olfactory decisions are based are unclear. Here, we recorded neural ensemble activity in the anterior piriform cortex (aPC) of rats performing an odor mixture ...
متن کاملScopolamine enhances generalization between odor representations in rat olfactory cortex.
Acetylcholine (ACh) has a critical, modulatory role in plasticity in many sensory systems. In the rat olfactory system, both behavioral and physiological data indicate that ACh may be required for normal odor memory and synaptic plasticity. Based on these data, neural network models have hypothesized that ACh muscarinic receptors reduce interference between learned cortical representations of o...
متن کاملOlfactory Coding: Giant Inhibitory Neuron Governs Sparse Odor Codes
Electrophysiological investigations in locusts have revealed that the sparseness of odor representations, in the brain region expected to mediate olfactory learning, is shaped by a unique inhibitory neuron.
