Olfactory discrimination in the rabbit olfactory glomerulus.
Slow potentials evoked by odor stimulation were recorded from individual glomeruli in the olfactory bulb. Systematic analysis of responses to nine different, arbitrarily selected stimuli strongly suggests a certain amount of discrimination. This fact seems to reflect in the first synapse of the olfactory tract the type of discrimination that was recently demonstrated within olfactory neuroepith...
متن کاملAn energy budget for the olfactory glomerulus.
Energy demands are becoming recognized as an important constraint on neural signaling. The olfactory glomerulus provides a well defined system for analyzing this question. Odor stimulation elicits high-energy demands in olfactory glomeruli where olfactory axons converge onto dendrites of olfactory bulb neurons. We performed a quantitative analysis of the energy demands of each type of neuronal ...
متن کاملSpecializations of a pheromonal glomerulus in the Drosophila olfactory system.
Insect pheromonal glomeruli are thought to track the fine spatiotemporal features of one or a few odorants to aid conspecific localization. However, it is not clear whether they function differently from generalist glomeruli, which respond to many odorants. In this study, we test how DA1, a model pheromonal glomerulus in the fruit fly, represents the spatial and temporal properties of its input...
متن کاملThe olfactory glomerulus: a cortical module with specific functions.
The axons of many olfactory receptor cells converge on an individual glomerulus in the olfactory bulb, where they make contacts with the distal dendrites of mitral and tufted cells. Each glomerulus is targeted by olfactory receptor neurons expressing a single type of olfactory receptor protein. The glomerulus provides a unique model in which the function of a cortical module can be unambiguousl...
متن کاملThe Olfactory Glomerulus: A Model for Neuro-Glio-Vascular Biology
The cellular basis of brain imaging is emerging as a new frontier in current neuroscience. In this issue of Neuron, Petzold et al. analyze a model system, the olfactory glomerulus, to show how neurovascular coupling involves an elaborate dance between axon terminals, presynaptic and postsynaptic dendrites, glial cells, and the capillary network.
