Representational learning by optimization of neural manifolds in an olfactory memory network

Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 10 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41593-026-02429-3

Using experiments and theory, the authors examine how olfactory memories are encoded in the zebrafish olfactory cortex. They find that experience reshapes the internal map of odor space, making relevant information more accessible.
