Microcircuits in the olfactory bulb have long received particular attention from both experimentalists and theoreticians, due in part to an abundance of dendrodendritic interactions and other specialized modifications to the canonical cortical circuit architecture. Recent experimental and theoretical results have elucidated the mechanisms and function of these circuits and their presumed contributions to olfactory stimulus processing and odor perception. We here review the architecture and functionality of a prominent olfactory bulb microcircuit: the glomerular network.
嗅球中的微电路长期以来一直受到实验家和理论家的特别关注，部分原因是存在大量的树突-树突相互作用和对经典皮质电路结构的其他特殊修改。最近的实验和理论结果阐明了这些电路的机制和功能及其对嗅觉刺激处理和气味感知的推测贡献。我们在这里回顾了一个突出的嗅球微电路：肾小球网络的结构和功能。
