Abstract

Normalizing neural responses by the sum of population activity allows the nervous system to adjust its sensitivity according to task demands, facilitating intensity-invariant information processing. In this issue of Neuron, two studies, Kato et al. (2013) and Miyamichi et al. (2013), suggest that parvalbumin-positive interneurons in the olfactory bulb play a role in this process.
