Modularity in the Organization of Mouse Primary Visual Cortex
TL;DR: The results suggest that the modular network in mouse V1 selects spatiotemporally distinct clusters of neurons within the point image for top-down control and differential routing of inputs to cortical streams.

Paying attention to smell: cholinergic signaling in the olfactory bulb
TL;DR: In this article, the role of cholinergic receptor activation in the encoding of odour information in the olfactory bulb has been examined in a variety of ways, including behavioral, electrophysiological, anatomical, and computational studies.
Nicotinic Receptor-Mediated Filtering of Mitral Cell Responses to Olfactory Nerve Inputs Involves the α3β4 Subtype
TL;DR: A mechanistic model for the sharpening of MC receptive fields by nAChRs is provided, which could aid in odor discrimination and perceptual learning.

Spatial Clustering of Inhibition in Mouse Primary Visual Cortex
TL;DR: The results show that the excitation/inhibition balance across V1 is organized into patch and interpatch subnetworks, which receive distinct long-range inputs and are specialized for the processing of distinct spatiotemporal features.

Nicotinic receptors modulate olfactory bulb external tufted cells via an excitation-dependent inhibitory mechanism
TL;DR: The results from this study suggest that ET cells, along with mitral cells, play an important role in the nicotinic modulation of glomerular inhibition, as well as an increase in the frequency of spontaneous postsynaptic GABAergic currents.
