Mouse models of human diseases are invaluable tools for studying pathogenic mechanisms
and testing interventions and therapeutics. For disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease in …

Animal models of disease are valuable resources for investigating pathogenic mechanisms
and potential therapeutic interventions. However, for complex disorders such as Alzheimer’s …

Spatial activation patterns within the olfactory bulb are believed to contribute to the neural
representation of odorants. In this study, we attempted to predict the perceptions of odorants …

In an effort to understand the means by which similar chemical odorants are encoded in the
mammalian brain, we exposed rats to a homologous series of n‐aliphatic acids and mapped …

In an effort to understand the olfactory code of rats, we collected more than 1,500,000
measurements of glomerular activity in response to 54 odorants selected to provide differences in …

Background Microglia, the primary resident myeloid cells of the brain, play critical roles in
immune defense by maintaining tissue homeostasis and responding to injury or disease. …

We have recently described sustained clinical recovery associated with dampened
neuroinflammation and remyelination following transplantation of neural precursor cells (NPCs) …

Experience with multiple odorants during early postnatal development increases the number
of cells in the olfactory bulb of rats. In this study, we asked whether at least part of this …

Early olfactory experience with a specific odorant enhances the subsequent response of the
glomerular layer of the rat olfactory bulb to that same odorant. Because different odorants …

Although it has been shown repeatedly that minimum response times in sensory systems
can be quite short, organisms more often continue to respond to sensory stimuli over …
