Welcome,

I suggest adding more detail describing how the connectivity of the olfactory bulb informs theories of its function. Included in this general wish, I have a few specific topics that, if expanded, would make this entry more informative.

• Expand upon: function of periglomerular cells as carriers of lateral inhibition and centrifugal modulation (5HT, others?).
• Expand upon: function of granule cells in: auto-inhibition, lateral inhibition, centrifugal modulation (pregnancy block, others?)
• Add: theories of information coding by mitral cells and its relationship (or lack of) to "glomerular maps"
• Add: mention of adult neurogenesis from sub-ventricular zone
• Add: mention of insect models of antennal lobe, potential new stub for "antennal lobe"

cheers,
