Olfactory coding: Revealing intrinsic representations of odors
Recent studies have applied optical imaging of intrinsic signals to the rodent olfactory system, providing a unique view of how odorous molecules are represented in the central nervous system.
متن کاملTemporal representations of odors in an olfactory network.
The responses of projection neurons in the antennal lobe of the locust brain (the functional analog of mitral-tufted cells in the vertebrate olfactory bulb) to natural blends and simple odors were studied with multiple intra- and extracellular recordings in vivo. Individual odors evoked complex temporal response patterns in many neurons. These patterns differed across odors for a given neuron a...
متن کاملOdor Experience Facilitates Sparse Representations of New Odors in a Large-Scale Olfactory Bulb Model
Prior odor experience has a profound effect on the coding of new odor inputs by animals. The olfactory bulb, the first relay of the olfactory pathway, can substantially shape the representations of odor inputs. How prior odor experience affects the representation of new odor inputs in olfactory bulb and its underlying network mechanism are still unclear. Here we carried out a series of simulati...
متن کاملLearning modulates the ensemble representations for odors in primary olfactory networks.
Recent evidence suggests that odor-driven responses in the insect antennal lobe (AL) can be modified by associative and nonassociative processes, as has been shown in the vertebrate olfactory bulb. However, the specific network changes that occur in response to olfactory learning remain unknown. To characterize changes in AL network activity during learning, we developed an in vivo protocol in ...
متن کاملPopulation Coding and the Labeling Problem: Extrinsic Versus Intrinsic Representations
Current population coding methods, including weighted averaging and Bayesian estimation, are based on extrinsic representations. These require that neurons be labeled with response parameters, such as tuning curve peaks or noise distributions, which are tied to some external, world-based metric scale. Firing rates alone, without this external labeling, are insufficient to represent a variable. ...
