Functional roles of distributed synaptic clusters in the mitral-granule cell network of the olfactory bulb

Functional roles of distributed synaptic clusters in the mitral-granule cell network of the olfactory bulb

Odors are encoded in spatio-temporal patterns within the olfactory bulb, but the mechanisms of odor recognition and discrimination are poorly understood. It is reasonable to postulate that the olfactory code is sculpted by lateral and feedforward inhibition mediated by granule cells onto the mitral...
