Odor-evoked activity

…introducing E-I assemblies reorganizes odor-evoked activity pattern

…will be unrelated to spontaneous activity. To avoid such biases [1] performed blind whole-cell patch clamp recordings of olfactory bulb mitral cells. Intriguingly, these recordings revealed an inverse relationship between spontaneous and odor-evoked activity: cells that were highly active at baseline were often quiet during odor presentation, while conversely, `silent' cells, quiet at baseline, dominated odor responses. In this study we use a
