We first review our understanding of odor representations in rodent olfactory bulb (OB) and anterior piriform cortex (APC). We then consider learning-induced representation changes. Finally we describe the perspective on network representations gained from examining  Arc -indexed odor networks of awake rats.  Arc -indexed networks are sparse and distributed, consistent with current views. However  Arc  provides representations of repeated odors.  Arc -indexed repeated odor representations are quite variable. Sparse representations are assumed to be compact and reliable memory codes.  Arc  suggests this is not necessarily the case. The variability seen is consistent with electrophysiology in awake animals and may reflect top-down cortical modulation of context.  Arc -indexing shows that distinct odors share larger than predicted neuron pools. These may be low-threshold neuronal subsets. Learning’s effect on  Arc -indexed representations is to increase the stable or overlapping component of rewarded odor representations. This component can decrease for similar odors when their discrimination is rewarded. The learning effects seen are supported by electrophysiology, but mechanisms remain to be elucidated.
