Article Synopsis
- * Researchers discovered that dopamine neurons that connect to the lateral EC (LEC) become dysfunctional in early AD, leading to memory issues.
- * By using optogenetics and L-DOPA treatment to reactivate these dopamine fibers, they were able to improve memory function in mouse models, highlighting the potential for targeting LEC dopamine in AD treatment.
Circuit dynamics of the olfactory pathway during olfactory learning.
Front Neural Circuits
July 2024
The olfactory system plays crucial roles in perceiving and interacting with their surroundings. Previous studies have deciphered basic odor perceptions, but how information processing in the olfactory system is associated with learning and memory is poorly understood. In this review, we summarize recent studies on the anatomy and functional dynamics of the mouse olfactory learning pathway, focusing on how neuronal circuits in the olfactory bulb (OB) and olfactory cortical areas integrate odor information in learning.
