Experiments by the CSHL team explain how these components of the mouse olfactory bulb estimate the total activity across the bulb.

Published in Neuron, scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) report their discovery of a neural circuit in the mouse olfactory bulb that explains how our mammalian cousins (and by extension, we) are able to adjust the gain on intense odors.

Two - photon microscopy image of a layer of the mouse olfactory bulb (viewed head - on from the front) containing relay stations call glomeruli — places where bundles of axons and dendrites meet.

Neurons in the mouse olfactory bulb fire in a relatively narrow range, up to a few hundred times per second.

So if you look at whole brains, the bulbs look like these tiny afterthoughts; if you look at a mouse or a rat, the olfactory bulb seems quite big.

The team was able to view the responses of tens of neurons at a time to signals arriving in the olfactory bulb from the mouse's odor detectors, called olfactory sensory neurons, located in the nose.

The scientists focused on the production of new neurons in adult mice, in particular those neurons that integrate into the olfactory bulb, the brain region responsible for analyzing odors.

Lawrence Katz of the Duke University Medical Center and his colleagues discovered that once signals reach the accessory olfactory bulb they are mapped out into distinct patterns of nerve cell activity that vary according to the traits that enable a mouse to identify desirable mates, such as species and sex.

Now researchers report that by inserting ultra-fine electrodes into the brains of live mice, they have identified which neural cells in the accessory olfactory bulb fire when one mouse checks out another's pheromonal fingerprint.

Normal mice with p16 had fewer neural stem cells in one part of the brain and fewer new neurons in the olfactory bulb, again demonstrating p16's ability to inhibit regeneration.
