The existence of cortical columns, regarded as computational units underlying both lower and higher-order information processing, has long been associated with highly evolved brains, and previous studies suggested their absence in rodents. ...
Tutor auditory memory for guiding sensorimotor learning in birdsong [0.03%]

Memory-guided motor shaping is necessary for sensorimotor learning. Vocal learning, such as speech development in human babies and song learning in bird juveniles, begins with the formation of an auditory template by hearing adult voices fo...

As an evolutionarily ancient sense, olfaction is key to learning where to find food, shelter, mates, and important landmarks in an animal's environment. Brain circuitry linking odor and navigation appears to be a well conserved multi-region...
Modeling the contribution of theta-gamma coupling to sequential memory, imagination, and dreaming [0.03%]
建模theta-γ耦合在序列记忆、想象和做梦中的作用

Gamma oscillations nested in a theta rhythm are observed in the hippocampus, where are assumed to play a role in sequential episodic memory, i.e., memorization and retrieval of events that unfold in time. In this work, we present an origina...

Various mammals have shown that sensory stimulation plays a crucial role in regulating the development of diverse structures, such as the olfactory bulb (OB), cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and retina. In the OB, the dendritic development of...
Structures and functions of the normal and injured human olfactory epithelium [0.03%]
正常和受损的人类嗅觉上皮的结构与功能

The olfactory epithelium (OE) is directly exposed to environmental agents entering the nasal cavity, leaving OSNs prone to injury and degeneration. The causes of olfactory dysfunction are diverse and include head trauma, neurodegenerative d...

Brain research has progressed with anesthetized animal experiments for a long time. Recent progress in research techniques allows us to measure neuronal activity in awake animals combined with behavioral tasks. The trends became more promin...
Endogenous opioids in the olfactory tubercle and their roles in olfaction and quality of life [0.03%]
嗅球内的内源性鸦片类物质及其在嗅觉和生活质量中的作用
Koshi Murata,Ayako Maegawa,Yoshimasa Imoto et al.
Koshi Murata et al.
Olfactory dysfunctions decrease daily quality of life (QOL) in part by reducing the pleasure of eating. Olfaction plays an essential role in flavor sensation and palatability. The decreased QOL due to olfactory dysfunction is speculated to ...
Shaping the olfactory map: cell type-specific activity patterns guide circuit formation [0.03%]

The brain constructs spatially organized sensory maps to represent sensory information. The formation of sensory maps has traditionally been thought to depend on synchronous neuronal activity. However, recent evidence from the olfactory sys...

The olfactory tubercle (OT) is a unique part of the olfactory cortex of the mammal brain in that it is also a component of the ventral striatum. It is crucially involved in motivational behaviors, particularly in adaptive olfactory learning...
