Olfactory coding in the turbulent realm
Long-distance olfactory search behaviors depend on odor detection dynamics. Due to turbulence, olfactory signals travel as bursts of variable concentration and spacing and are characterized by long-tail distributions of odor/no-odor events, challenging the computing capacities of olfactory systems. How animals encode complex olfactory scenes to track the plume far from the source remains unclea...
متن کاملOlfactory Coding in the Honeybee Lateral Horn
Olfactory systems dynamically encode odor information in the nervous system. Insects constitute a well-established model for the study of the neural processes underlying olfactory perception. In insects, odors are detected by sensory neurons located in the antennae, whose axons project to a primary processing center, the antennal lobe. There, the olfactory message is reshaped and further convey...
متن کاملImaging and coding in the olfactory system.
Functional imaging methods permit analysis of neuronal systems in which activity is broadly distributed in time and space. In the olfactory system the dimensions that describe odorant stimuli in "odorant space" are still poorly defined. One way of trying to characterize the attributes of this space is to examine the ways in which its dimensions are encoded by the neurons and circuits making up ...
متن کاملOlfactory Coding: When Smells Collide
Brain responses can significantly outlast sensory stimuli leading to potential ambiguity when responses overlap. Recent studies of locust olfaction found that the responses of individual second order projection neurons depend markedly on the previous few seconds' stimulus history; the population response, however, still conveys information about both temporal structure and odour identity.
