Shani-Narkiss et al. established an experimental system to test the functional role of adult born neurons (ABNs) on Mitral Cell (MC) coding. Silencing ABNs, unexpectedly, quenched MC odor responses. A computational model provides a mechanistic explanation to the functional role of adult-born neurons in circuit computation of the olfactory bulb.
