A lateral look at olfactory bulb lateral inhibition
Abstract
Contrast enhancement in sensory systems often relies on spatial filters implemented by lateral inhibition. However, in this issue of Neuron, Fantana et al. provide evidence that lateral inhibition in the olfactory bulb selectively acts between sparse populations of principal neurons without regard to spatial relations.
