Neural circuits: random design of a higher-order olfactory projection
Abstract
A recent study in Drosophila has found that the connectivity between the first olfactory processing center, the antennal lobe, and one of its targets, the mushroom body, is apparently random. This supports the idea that the mushroom body is designed for learning arbitrary odor features.
