Distorted odor maps in the olfactory bulb of semaphorin 3A-deficient mice.
Semaphorin 3A (Sema3A) repels growing olfactory axons that express neuropilin-1 (NP-1), a receptor for Sema3A. The Sema3A-mediated axon guidance seems to be essential for the formation of the glomerular sensory map in the olfactory bulb (OB). To understand whether and how Sema3A is involved in sensory map formation, we examined the glomerular map in the OB of adult Sema3A-deficient mice. In wil...
متن کاملOdor representations in the mammalian olfactory bulb.
A first key step in studying a sensory modality is to define how the brain represents the features of the sensory stimulus. This has proven to be a challenge in olfaction, where even the stimulus features have been a matter of considerable debate. In this review, we focus on olfactory representations in the first stage of the olfactory pathway, the olfactory bulb (OB). We examine the diverging ...
متن کاملOdor maps in the dorsal and lateral surfaces of the rat olfactory bulb.
The surface of the mammalian olfactory bulb (OB) is covered by numerous glomeruli. Since individual glomeruli represent a single odorant receptor (OR) among a repertoire of nearly 1000 ORs, the spatial assembly of the glomeruli forms the maps of ORs. How are the numerous ORs represented spatially in the glomerular maps? Studies of mapping of odorant-induced glomerular activity using the optical...
متن کاملDetection and masking of spoiled food smells by odor maps in the olfactory bulb.
Two major causes of spoiled food smells such as fatty, fishy off-flavors are alkylamines liberated by bacterial actions and aliphatic acids-aldehydes generated by lipid oxidation. Using the method of intrinsic signal imaging, we mapped alkylamine-responsive glomeruli to a subregion of the aliphatic acid-responsive and aldehyde-responsive cluster in the odor maps of rat olfactory bulb. Extracell...
متن کاملAutomatic segmentation of odor maps in the mouse olfactory bulb using regularized non-negative matrix factorization
Segmentation of functional parts in image series of functional activity is a common problem in neuroscience. Here we apply regularized non-negative matrix factorization (rNMF) to extract glomeruli in intrinsic optical signal (IOS) images of the olfactory bulb. Regularization allows us to incorporate prior knowledge about the spatio-temporal characteristics of glomerular signals. We demonstrate ...
