I am sorry to read about Mike's passing. Here a picture I took exactly six years ago at the SfN meeting. I truly enjoyed the discussion about gap junctions and synaptic transmission. My thoughts are with Suzanne and his family.
Mike Bennett passed away early this morning. He became unwell yesterday and was taken to hospital last night. Mike was a scientific giant who made major contributions to neuroscience. As mentor and long-term friend, he will be sorely missed

Using high-throughput sequencing, we find that the olfactory cortex connectivity is spatially structured forming triadic circuit motifs in the piriform cortex that may represent parallel, functionally distinct processing streams. @joe6783 @TonyZador
