Natural odors, generally composed of many monomolecular components, are analyzed by
peripheral receptors into component features and translated into spatiotemporal patterns of …

Increased understanding of the early stages of olfaction has lead to a renewed interest in the
higher brain regions responsible for forming unified 'odor images' from the chemical …

During sleep and awake rest, the neocortex generates large-scale slow-wave (SW) activity.
Here, we report that the claustrum coordinates neocortical SW generation. We established a …

The interplay between olfaction and higher cognitive processing has been documented in
the adult brain; however, its development is poorly understood. In mice, shortly after birth …

With advancing age, the ability of humans to detect and discriminate odors declines. In light
of the rapid progress in analyzing molecular and structural correlates of develo** and …

As a major class of noncoding RNAs, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been
implicated in various critical biological processes. Accumulating researches have linked …

Tools enabling the manipulation of well defined neuronal subpopulations are critical for
probing complex neuronal networks. Cre recombinase (Cre) mouse driver lines in …

Understanding central processing requires precise monitoring of neural activity across
populations of identified neurons in the intact brain. In the present study, we used recently …

The olfactory system has a rich cortical representation, including a large archicortical
component present in most vertebrates, and in mammals neocortical components including …

The orbitofrontal cortex receives multi-modality sensory inputs, including olfactory input, and
is thought to be involved in conscious perception of the olfactory image of objects …
