Odor Coding in the Dorsal Tenia Tecta
PROJECT SUMMARY The formation of a percept results from the processing of sensory information across a network of brain regions, each contributing uniquely to perception. Thus, to understand the mechanisms by which the brain encodes sensory information, we must study each component of the network. Olfactory perception is dependent upon a distributed network of processing centers, which are connected in serial and parallel manners. Odor information is organized into receptor-specific channels mapped onto the olfactory bulb. These singular streams of information are broadly projected by mitral/ tufted cells to multiple cortical structures. This direct, parallel input is thought to allow each…
