Abstract

The past year has seen several important findings emerge from studies of higher olfactory processes. The identification of synaptic long-term potentiation in the olfactory cortex, induced via repetitive burst stimulation at the theta rhythm, and physiological activity patterns associated with learning, some of which mimic long-term potentiation induction patterns, have suggested relationships between rhythmic activity, behavioral learning and synaptic plasticity. In addition, the construction of computational models of the olfactory bulb and cortex have generated testable behavioral and pphysiological predictions which have been supported by experimental evidence.
