🚨 Preprint alert! 🚨
Can mice estimate the distance to an odour source?
New work led by Cristina Marin and colleagues, jointly supervised by @andreas-t-schaefer.bsky.social at the @crick.ac.uk and myself.
Spoiler alert: Yes, they can!

Finally, our results would not be possible without past and present members of the Datta lab, including Tatsuya Tsukahara (now at the LTRI in Toronto) and great collaborators like Martin Escamilla del Arenal and Tom Bozza (@neuroboz.bsky.social). We look forward to your feedback on this work!
A spatial code governs olfactory receptor choice and aligns sensory maps in the nose and brain
Although topographical maps organize many peripheral sensory systems, it remains unclear whether olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) choose which of the ~1100 odor receptors (ORs) to express based upon t...

Olfactory neuroscientists have known for a while that their stimuli stink. A new analysis illuminates the extent of the problem.

Smell studies often use unnaturally high odor concentrations, analysis reveals
It’s time to fashion olfactory neuroscience stimuli based on odor concentrations in the wild, say study investigators Elizabeth Hong and Matt Wachowiak.

Glad to share this review of odor concentrations in nature versus experiments, just out in J Neurosci. Spoiler: they are far apart. We discuss implications for olfactory neuroscience and welcome debate. With @neuroboz.bsky.social @dewanlab.bsky.social, Betty Hong. www.jneurosci.org/content/45/1...

Recalibrating Olfactory Neuroscience to the Range of Naturally Occurring Odor Concentrations

For my inaugural post on this platform, I pose THE critical question of our day. Fruit fly or Vinegar fly? Can’t we just pick one?
