About pcx-1

Summary of the data

This dataset contains extracellular recordings from mouse olfactory bulb (OB) and piriform cortex (PCx) and respiration data, including simultaneous OB-PCx recordings in response to odor stimuli at varying concentrations, opto-tagged VGAT+ PCx neurons and tetanus toxin (TeLC)-infected PCx responding to odors, and OB-PCx recordings during optogenetic stimulation of OB. Results from the experiments are described in
