Adult-born neurons facilitate olfactory bulb pattern separation during task engagement
Abstract: The rodent olfactory bulb incorporates thousands of newly generated inhibitory neurons daily throughout adulthood, but the role of adult neurogenesis in olfactory processing is not fully understood. Here we adopted a genetic method to inducibly suppress adult neurogenesis and investigated its effect on behavior and bulbar activity. Mice without young adult-born neurons (ABNs) showed normal ability in discriminating very different odorants but were impaired in fine discrimination. Furthermore, two-photon calciu…

“…As we observed empirically, abGCs increase the dynamic range of MCs, thereby improving discrimination. Notably, this is consistent with the effects observed in numerous causal behavioral experiments 14,15,45 . Better discriminatory power by MCs can serve downstream areas, improving multiple computations such as pattern separation 14,65 .…”

“…1c), and are more strongly driven by OSN input 30 . Given these findings and, consistent with previous work 52,[88][89][90][91] , we speculate that the mitral cell-to-PC loop is not primarily involved in the sensory aspects of odor identification, which appear readily supported by the non-canonical TC-to-AON pathway, and rather performs different computations. For example, it may specifically modify odor representations during contextual learning, and/or relay sensory and sensorimotor predictions in complex, fluctuating olfactory scenes.…”
