Article Abstract
This article presents the development of an artificial olfactory bulb (OB) using an electronic nose with thermally modulated metal-oxide sensors. Inspired by animal OBs, our approach employs thermal modulation to replicate the spatial encoding patterns of glomeruli clusters and subclusters. This new approach enhances the classification capabilities of traditional electronic noses and offers new insights for biomimetic olfaction. Molecular receptive range (MRR) analysis confirms that our artificial OB effectively mimics the glomerular distribution of animal OBs. Additionally, the incorporation of a short axon cell (SAC) network, inspired by the animal olfactory system, significantly improves lifetime sparseness and qualitative ability of the artificial OB through extensive lateral inhibition, providing a theoretical framework for enhanced olfactory performance.

In nature, animal vocalizations can provide crucial information about identity, including kinship and hierarchy. However, lab-based vocal behavior is typically studied during brief interactions between animals with no prior social relationship, and under environmental conditions with limited ethological relevance. Here, we address this gap by establishing long-term acoustic recordings from Mongolian gerbil families, a core social group that uses an array of sonic and ultrasonic vocalizations.

Article Synopsis
- The study presents a novel artificial neural network (ANN) model for image classification, inspired by the neural circuit for aversive olfactory learning in the simple organism C. elegans.
- Despite the impressive performance of existing ANNs, they often face issues like high parameter demands and training costs, which this new model aims to address.
- Results show that this bio-inspired ANN performs better in accuracy, consistency, and speed compared to traditional models, highlighting the potential for biological insights to enhance future ANN designs.

This perspective considers the novel concept of olfactory neurofeedback (O-NFB) within the framework of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), where olfactory stimuli are integrated in various BCI control loops. In particular, electroencephalography (EEG)-based O-NFB systems are capable of incorporating different components of complex olfactory processing - from simple discrimination tasks to using olfactory stimuli for rehabilitation of neurological disorders. In our own work, EEG theta and alpha rhythms were probed as control variables for O-NFB.

Article Synopsis
- * Genetic analysis revealed higher inbreeding and linkage disequilibrium in the breeding population, along with lower nucleic acid diversity and effective size compared to the non-breeding group, with specific genes identified that may influence growth and adaptation.
- * A total of 698 positively selected genes were identified, with 36 linked to the olfactory receptor pathway, suggesting a genetic basis for the improved efficiency in adapting to artificial feed in LMB.
