Sniffing Out NMDA Receptors in the Olfactory Cortex
Abstract
Selective olfactory learning is essential for survival in most newborn mammals. Findings by Franks and Isaacson in this issue of Neuron suggest that early olfactory learning might be selective, in part because olfactory experience downregulates NMDA receptors at primary inputs to the olfactory cortex.
