Olfactory maps, circuits and computations.

TL;DR: It is argued that in contrast to brain circuits for other sensory modalities, both the piriform and the olfactory tubercle largely discard any topography present in the bulb and instead use distributive afferent connectivity, local learning rules and input from neuromodulatory centers to build behaviorally relevant representations of olf factory stimuli.

Organization of prefrontal network activity by respiration-related oscillations
TL;DR: It is shown that prominent oscillations in the sub-theta frequency band emerge during awake immobility in the mPFC, and single-unit discharges of putative pyramidal cells and GABAergic interneurons are entrained by prefrontal PRR and nasal respiration.
Grid-like Neural Representations Support Olfactory Navigation of a Two-Dimensional Odor Space.
Xiaojun Bao,Eva Gjorgieva,Laura K. Shanahan,James D. Howard,Thorsten Kahnt,Thorsten Kahnt,Jay A. Gottfried,Jay A. Gottfried +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that human subjects can learn to navigate in olfactory space and form predictions of to-be-encountered smells, highlighting a unique neural mechanism by which odor information can be assembled into spatially navigable cognitive maps, optimizing orientation, and path finding toward an odor source.

TL;DR: Investigation of a possible sexual dimorphism in the olfactory bulb by quantifying postmortem material with the isotropic fractionator, an unbiased and accurate method to estimate absolute cell numbers in brain regions demonstrates a sex-related difference in the absolute number of total, neuronal and non-neuronal cells.
The piriform cortex and human focal epilepsy.
TL;DR: From recent convergent findings in human neuroimaging, clinical epileptology, and experimental animal models, the case is made that the piriform cortex is likely to play a facilitating and amplify role in human focal epileptogenesis, and may influence progression to epileptic intractability.
Oxytocin Mediates Entrainment of Sensory Stimuli to Social Cues of Opposing Valence
Han Kyoung Choe,Michael Douglas Reed,Nora L. Benavidez,Daniel Montgomery,Natalie Soares,Yeong Shin Yim,Gloria B. Choi +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used odor-driven behavioral paradigms to ask if oxytocin, a neuropeptide implicated in various social behaviors, plays a crucial role in the formation of learned associations between odor and socially significant cues.

Visualizing an Olfactory Sensory Map

TL;DR: A genetic approach is developed to visualize axons from olfactory sensory neurons expressing a given odorant receptor, as they project to the Olfactory bulb, which provides direct support for a model in which a topographic map of receptor activation encodes odor quality in the ofactory bulb.

Modulation of Striatal Projection Systems by Dopamine
TL;DR: The contrast provided by these studies has provided new insights into how the striatum responds to fluctuations in DA signaling and how diseases that alter this signaling change striatal function.
