Abstract | Studies have shown that neonate rodents exhibit high ability to learn a preference for novel odors associated with thermo-tactile stimuli that mimics maternal care. Artificial odors paired with vigorous strokes in rat pups younger than 10 postnatal days (P), but not older, rapidly induce an orientation-approximation behavior toward the conditioned odor in a two-choice preference test. The olfactory bulb (OB) and the anterior olfactory cortex (aPC), both modulated by norepinephrine (NE), have been identified as part of a neural circuit supporting this transitory olfactory learning. One possible explanation at the neuronal level for why the odor-stroke pairing induces consistent orientation-approximation behavior in <P10 pups, but not in >P10, is the coincident activation of prior existent neurons in the aPC mediating this behavior. Specifically, odor-stroke conditioning in <P10 pups may activate more mother/nest odor's responsive aPC neurons than in >P10 pups, promoting orientation-approximation behavior in the former but not in the latter. In order to test this hypothesis, we performed in vitro patch-clamp recordings of the aPC pyramidal neurons from rat pups from two age groups (P5-P8 and P14-P17) and built computational models for the OB-aPC neural circuit based on this physiological data. We conditioned the P5-P8 OB-aPC artificial circuit to an odor associated with NE activation (representing the process of maternal odor learning during mother-infant interactions inside the nest) and then evaluated the response of the OB-aPC circuit to the presentation of the conditioned odor. The results show that the number of responsive aPC neurons to the presentation of the conditioned odor in the P14-P17 OB-aPC circuit was lower than in the P5-P8 circuit, suggesting that at P14-P17, the reduced number of responsive neurons to the conditioned (maternal) odor might not be coincident with the responsive neurons for a second conditioned odor.
