DESCRIPTION:Bard ERMENTROUT - Complex Biological Systems Group\, Departmen
 t of Mathematics\, University of Pittsburgh\nNoise can impact oscillators 
 in many ways. Here\, using the olfactory bulb as motivation\, we summarize
  work from our group on the effects of correlated noise on uncoupled oscil
 lators. We first describe the reduction of general limit cycles to phase m
 odels in certain limits. The phase models depend on the phase-resetting cu
 rve (PRC) of the oscillator which can be experimentally measured in severa
 l ways. We use the resulting phase models to study how correlated inputs i
 mpact the long and short time output correlations of neural oscillators. W
 e also describe how heterogeneity affects the transfer of correlations at 
 the short time scale (synchrony) and apply the theory to mitral cell neuro
 ns..
