How do smells linked to joyful childhood events trigger vivid adulthood memories? @elisagalliano.bsky.social @chloeg-neuro.bsky.social explore a @plosbiology.org study showing that neurons generated around birth help encode these olfactory memories 🧪 Paper: plos.io/3TmixuJ Primer: plos.io/4wKLyP4

Neonatal-born granule cells encode positive odor-associated childhood memories. During the perinatal period, neurons are generated in the subventricular zone and migrate to the olfactory bulb, where they integrate into local circuits and become functionally mature. A subset differentiates into granule cells, the neuronal population investigated by Dejou and colleagues. During childhood, repeated exposure to an odor in a positive context, such a playpen, activates these perinatally generated granule cells. In adulthood, re-exposure to the same odor elicits a behavioral preference, suggesting the persistence of an olfactory memory formed during childhood. Silencing the neuronal population activated by the odor during childhood play abolishes this behavioral preference.
