The temporal coordination of neural firing allows for the dynamic communication between brain areas. In the olfactory system, two oscillations may transiently facilitate this coordination: gamma, which is thought to originate in the olfactory bulb, and beta, which is thought to occur during the interaction between the olfactory bulb and higher order brain areas, such as the piriform cortex. To investigate how and why these oscillations occur, I analyze in vivo recordings of the olfactory bulb and piriform cortex, and perform multielectrode recordings of olfactory bulb slices.
