Intrinsic and Network Mechanisms Constrain Neural Synchrony in the Moth Antennal Lobe

Projection neurons in the antennal lobe of the moth respond vigorously to odor stimulation, but then fall silent due to an 'After-hyperpolarization phase', or AHP phase. I'll discuss some experiments and associated modeling which aims to understand the mechanisms underlying this AHP-phase, and which sheds light on the rich dynamics of the moth antennal lobe.
