متن کاملTemporal coding in an olfactory oscillatory model
We propose a model of the glomerular stage of the insect olfactory pathway that exhibits coding of inputs through spatio}temporal patterns of the type observed experimentally in locust.Making use of the temporal bins provided by the oscillatory "eld potential we "nd that it su$ces to employ simple little-Hop"eld dynamics to account for a rich repertoire of patterns. In particular, we show that ...
متن کاملCombinatorial On/off Model for Olfactory Coding
We present a model for olfactory coding based on spatial representation of glomerular responses. In this model distinct odorants activate specific subsets of glomeruli, dependent upon the odorant's chemical identity and concentration. The glomerular response specificities are understood statistically, based on experimentally measured distributions of detection thresholds. A simple version of th...
متن کاملA Self-organizing Model of Chemotopic Convergence for Olfactory Coding
Abslract-This article presents a self-organizing model of convergence for the early stages of the olfactory pathway. The model generates a chemotopic projection from olfactory receptor neurons onto glomeruli based on receptor aflinity distributions. The resulting glomerular images reveal an olfactory code consistent with neurobiology, whereby odor quality is encoded by a unique spatial pattern ...
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.
