Abstract
Neural codes for sensory inputs have been hypothesized to reside in a broader space defined by ongoing patterns of spontaneous activity. To understand the structure of this spontaneous activity in the olfactory system, we performed high-density recordings of neural populations in the main olfactory bulb of awake mice. We observed changes in pairwise correlations of spontaneous activity between mitral and tufted (M/T) cells when animals were running, which resulted in an increase in the entropy of the population. Surprisingly, pairwise maximum entropy models that described the population activity using only assumptions about the firing rates and correlations of neurons were better at predicting the global structure of activity when animals were stationary as compared to when they were running, implying that higher order (3rd, 4th order) interactions governed population activity during locomotion. Taken together, we found that locomotion alters the functional interactions that shape spontaneous population activity at the earliest stages of olfactory processing, one synapse away from the sensory receptors in the nasal epithelium. These data suggest that the coding space available for sensory representations responds adaptively to the animal's behavioral state.NEW & NOTEWORTHY The organization and structure of spontaneous population activity in the olfactory system places constraints of how odor information is represented. Using high-density electrophysiological recordings of mitral and tufted cells, we found that running increases the dimensionality of spontaneous activity, implicating higher order interactions among neurons during locomotion. Behavior, thus, flexibly alters neuronal activity at the earliest stages of sensory processing.

Abstract
Neural oscillations of the mammalian olfactory system have been studied for decades. This research suggests they are linked to various processes involved in odor information analysis, depending on the vigilance state and presentation of stimuli. In addition, the effects of various anesthetics, including commonly used ones like chloral hydrate, pentobarbital, ketamine, and urethane, on the local field potential (LFP) in the olfactory bulb (OB) have been studied. In particular, the combination of xylazine and tiletamine-zolazepam has been shown to produce steady anesthesia for an extended period and relatively few adverse effects; however, their effects on the LFP in the OB remain unknown. To study those effects, we recorded the LFP in the OB of rats under xylazine-tiletamine-zolazepam anesthesia. During the period of anesthesia, the spectral powers of the 1-4, 9-16, 31-64, 65-90 frequency bands increased significantly, and that of 91-170 Hz frequency band decreased significantly, whereas no significant changes were observed in the 5-8 and 17-30 Hz ranges. These results reveal dynamic changes in the time and frequency characteristics of the LFP in the OB of rats under xylazine-tiletamine- zolazepam anesthesia and suggest that this combination of anesthetics could be used for studying oscillatory processes in the OB of rats.

Abstract
Neuroimmune signaling is increasingly identified as a critical component of neuronal processes underlying memory, emotion and cognition. The interactions of microglia and astrocytes with neurons and synapses, and the individual cytokines and immune signaling molecules that mediate these interactions are a current focus of much research. Here, we discuss neuroimmune activation as a mechanism triggering different states that modulate cognitive and affective processes to allow for appropriate behavior during and after illness or injury. We propose that these states lie on a continuum from a naïve homeostatic baseline state in the absence of stimulation, to acute neuroimmune activity and chronic activation. Importantly, consequences of illness or injury including cognitive deficits and mood impairments can persist long after resolution of immune signaling. This suggests that neuroimmune activation also results in an enduring shift in the homeostatic baseline state with long lasting consequences for neural function and behavior. Such different states can be identified in a multidimensional way, using patterns of cytokine and glial activation, behavioral and cognitive changes, and epigenetic signatures. Identifying distinct neuroimmune states and their consequences for neural function will provide a framework for predicting vulnerability to disorders of memory, cognition and emotion both during and long after recovery from illness.

Abstract
The neural activities of the olfactory bulb (OB) can be modulated significantly by internal brain states. While blood oxygenation level dependent functional MRI (BOLD-fMRI) has been extensively applied to study OB in small animals, the relationship between BOLD signals and electrophysiological signals remains to be elucidated. Our recent study has revealed a complex relationship between BOLD and local field potentials (LFP) signals in different OB layers during odor stimulation. However, no study has been performed to compare these two types of signals under global brain states. Here, the changes of BOLD and LFP signals in the glomerular, mitral cell, and granular cell layers of the OB under different brain states, which were induced by different concentrations of isoflurane, were sequentially acquired using electrode array and high-resolution MRI. It was found that under deeper anesthesia, the LFP powers in all layers were decreased but the BOLD signals were unexpectedly increased. Furthermore, the decreases of LFP powers were layer-independent, but the increases of BOLD signal were layer-specific, with the order of glomerular>mitral cell>granular cell layer. The results provide new evidence that the direct neural activity levels might not be correlated well with BOLD signals in some cases, and remind us that cautions should be taken to use BOLD signals as the index of neural activities.

Abstract
Different types of oscillations in the olfactory bulb (OB), including θ (1 to 4 and 5 to 12 Hz), β (13 to 30 Hz), and γ oscillations (31 to 64 and 65 to 90 Hz), are important in olfactory information processing and olfactory-related functions and have been investigated extensively in recent decades. The awake and anesthetized states, 2 different brain conditions, are used widely in electrophysiologic studies of OB. Chloral hydrate, pentobarbital, and urethane are commonly used anesthetics in these studies. However, the influence of these anesthetics on the oscillations has not been reported. In the present study, we recorded the local field potential (LFP) in the OB of rats that were freely moving or anesthetized with these agents. Chloral hydrate and pentobarbital had similar effects: they slightly affected the power of θ oscillations; significantly increased the power of β oscillations; significantly decreased the power of γ oscillations, and showed similar recovery of γ oscillations. Urethane had very different effects: it significantly increased oscillations at 1 to 4 Hz but decreased those at 5 to 12 Hz, decreased β and γ oscillations, and showed no overt recovery in γ oscillations. These results provide experimental evidence of different effects of various anesthetics on OB oscillations and suggest that the choice of anesthetic should consider the experimental application.

Visualizing neuromodulation in vivo: TANGO-mapping of dopamine signaling reveals appetite control of sugar sensing. Cell 2012; 148:583-95.

Abstract
Behavior cannot be predicted from a "connectome" because the brain contains a chemical "map" of neuromodulation superimposed upon its synaptic connectivity map. Neuromodulation changes how neural circuits process information in different states, such as hunger or arousal. Here we describe a genetically based method to map, in an unbiased and brain-wide manner, sites of neuromodulation under different conditions in the Drosophila brain. This method, and genetic perturbations, reveal that the well-known effect of hunger to enhance behavioral sensitivity to sugar is mediated, at least in part, by the release of dopamine onto primary gustatory sensory neurons, which enhances sugar-evoked calcium influx. These data reinforce the concept that sensory neurons constitute an important locus for state-dependent gain control of behavior and introduce a methodology that can be extended to other neuromodulators and model organisms.
