Selective Attention Controls Olfactory Decisions and the Neural Encoding of Odors by Carlson, Kaitlin S., Gadziola, Marie A., Dauster, Emma S., Wesson, Daniel W.

“…Critical animal behaviors, especially among rodents, are guided by odors in remarkably well-coordinated manners, yet many extramodal sensory cues compete for…”
