Odor coding in a model olfactory organ: the Drosophila maxillary palp.
Odor coding relies on the activity of different classes of receptor neurons, each with distinct response characteristics. We have examined odor coding in a model olfactory organ, the maxillary palp of Drosophila. This organ contains only 120 olfactory receptor neurons, compartmentalized in sensory hairs called sensilla, and provides an opportunity to characterize all neurons in an entire olfact...
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 کاملOdor Coding in the Maxillary Palp of the Malaria Vector Mosquito Anopheles gambiae
BACKGROUND Many species of mosquitoes, including the major malaria vector Anopheles gambiae, utilize carbon dioxide (CO(2)) and 1-octen-3-ol as olfactory cues in host-seeking behaviors that underlie their vectorial capacity. However, the molecular and cellular basis of such olfactory responses remains largely unknown. RESULTS Here, we use molecular and physiological approaches coupled with sy...
متن کاملEmergent properties of odor information coding in a representational model of the salamander olfactory bulb.
In the salamander olfactory bulb, mitral output cells exhibit a variety of responses to electrical and odor stimulation, but the cellular interactions within the bulb that give rise to these responses are not completely understood. We have developed a computer model to investigate whether available data are sufficient for formulating a simulated bulb circuit that can generate realistic mitral c...
متن کاملTemporal 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...
