Title: Neuronal heterogeneity and plasticity in the olfactory bulb

Host: David Keays

Abstract:
Dopaminergic neurons in the olfactory bulb regulate early sensory
processing by adjusting synaptic gain and exhibiting remarkable
plasticity. Recent findings highlight their diverse responses to
sensory deprivation, with some altering structure and excitability
while others rely on synaptic changes. This plasticity is more
pronounced than that displayed by excitatory neurons, suggesting rapid
adaptation for sensory processing. Our lab’s current work aims to
understand how these responses contribute to generating appropriate
neuronal outputs at both network and behavioural levels.
