Odorant Receptors Govern the Formation of a Precise Topographic Map
Olfactory neurons expressing a given odorant receptor project with precision to 2 of the 1800 glomeruli within the olfactory bulb to create a topographic map of odor quality. We demonstrate that deletions or nonsense mutations in the P2 odorant receptor gene cause the axons of these cells to wander rather than converge on a specific glomerulus. Receptor substitution experiments that replace the...
متن کاملIntrinsic Activity of Odorant Receptors Guides Sensory Map Formation
Olfactory sensory neurons innervate the olfactory bulb in stereotyped patterns according to the odorant receptors they express. A study by Nakashima et al. in this issue demonstrates that the odorant receptor's level of intrinsic activity-in the absence of activating odorant-influences the guidance of olfactory axons to their targets.
متن کاملMaximum Likelihood Topographic Map Formation
We introduce a new unsupervised learning algorithm for kernel-based topographic map formation of heteroscedastic gaussian mixtures that allows for a unified account of distortion error (vector quantization), log-likelihood, and Kullback-Leibler divergence.
متن کاملTopographic Map Formation as Statistical Inference
Neurons representing similar aspects of the world are often found close together in the cortex. It is proposed that this phenomenon can be modelled using a statistical approach. We start by using a neural network to nd the \features" that were most likely to have generated the observed probability distribution of inputs. These features can be found using a Boltzmann machine architecture, but th...
متن کاملSynaptic Rewiring for Topographic Map Formation
A model of topographic map development is presented which combines both weight plasticity and the formation and elimination of synapses as well as both activity-dependent and -independent processes. We statistically address the question of whether an activity-dependent process can refine a mapping created by an activity-independent process. A new method of evaluating the quality of topographic ...
