| summary | Odor perception is an object oriented process, involving the experience-dependent synthesis of peripherally derived, spatiotemporal input patterns into odor object percepts such as “coffee”. This experience-dependent synthesis occurs primarily within the piriform cortex, that acts as an experience-dependent pattern recognition device, capable of both pattern completion and pattern separation. The ability of cortical ensembles to decorrelate highly overlapping patterns can be modulated by learning to enhance either discrimination or generalization, and this cortical activity predicts behavioral acuity. |
