Neural Circuits for Cortical Odor Coding

Mice rely on their sense of smell to locate food, attract mates, and evade predators. I will briefly discuss how odor identity and intensity are encoded in the mouse olfactory (piriform) cortex and how these representations remain consistent across concentrations, focussing on the neural circuit mechanisms that underlie these operations. Then, I will share recent findings from our lab that reveal how respiration coordinates all cortical odor responses, uncovering a novel framework for the logic of cortical odor coding.
