Temporal coding of odor mixtures in an olfactory receptor neuron.
Most natural odors are mixtures and often elicit percepts distinct from those elicited by their constituents. This emergence of a unique odor quality has long been attributed to central processing. Here we show that sophisticated integration of olfactory information begins in olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) in Drosophila. Odor mixtures are encoded in the temporal dynamics as well as in the ma...
متن کاملOlfactory Coding: Inhibition Reshapes Odor Responses
Olfactory information is dramatically restructured as it makes its way through the brain. Recent work using a remarkable experimental preparation has revealed how this transformation is achieved.
متن کاملOlfactory Coding: Giant Inhibitory Neuron Governs Sparse Odor Codes
Electrophysiological investigations in locusts have revealed that the sparseness of odor representations, in the brain region expected to mediate olfactory learning, is shaped by a unique inhibitory neuron.
متن کاملCoding of odor stimulus features among secondary olfactory structures.
Sensory systems must represent stimuli in manners dependent upon a wealth of factors, including stimulus intensity and duration. One way the brain might handle these complex functions is to assign the tasks throughout distributed nodes, each contributing to information processing. We sought to explore this important aspect of sensory network function in the mammalian olfactory system, wherein t...
متن کاملThe olfactory bulb: coding and processing of odor molecule information.
Olfactory sensory neurons detect a large variety of odor molecules and send information through their axons to the olfactory bulb, the first site for the processing of olfactory information in the brain. The axonal connection is precisely organized so that signals from 1000 different types of odorant receptors are sorted out in 1800 glomeruli in the mouse olfactory bulb. Individual glomerular m...
