Olfactory bulb plasticity ensures proper olfaction after severe impairment in postnatal neurogenesis

Abstract The olfactory bulb (OB) neurons establish a complex network that ensures the correct processing of the olfactory inputs. Moreover, the OB presents a lifelong addition of new neurons into its existing circuitry. This neurogenesis is considered essential for the OB function. However, its func...
