Scope and Contents

Contents

Sparse coding is thought to facilitate pattern separation for associative memory, but behavioral evidence is scant. The authors show that in
Drosophila
, feedback inhibition enforces sparse odor coding in Kenyon cells, the neurons that store olfactory associations. Disrupting this sparsening mechanism impairs learned discrimination of similar...
