This code implements a model for adult neurogenesis of granule cells in the olfactory system. The granule cells receive sensory input via the mitral cells and top-down input from a cortical area. That cortical area also receives olfactory input from the mitral cells as well as contextual input. This plasticity leads to a network structure consisting of bidirectional connections between bulbar and cortical odor representations. The top-down input enhances stimulus discrimination based on contextual input.
