A silicon olfactory bulb oscillator
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a low power MOS-VLSI implementation of an oscillator proposed by Freeman to model a very important component of the olfactory cortex [l]. The model dynamics has time constants in the order of 11220 (s). To accomplish the long time constants a new filtering technique recently proposed [2][3] was utilized. All the blocks involving information processing were designed to operate below threshold (weak inversion).

P11: Assess the Electrophysiological Activity of Olfactory Bulb in the Animal Model of PTSD and its Relationship with Neuroinflammation in the Olfactory Bulb
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that's triggered by a terrifying event - either experiencing it or witnessing it. In addition to the relationship between PTSD and neuroinflammation, research indicates that olfactory bulb are effective in anxiety disorders. The aim of this study was to assess the electrophysiological activity of olfactory bulb in the animal mod...

The olfactory bulb transforms not only the information content of the primary sensory representation, but also its underlying coding metric. High-variance, slow-timescale primary odor representations are transformed by bulbar circuitry into secondary representations based on principal neuron spike patterns that are tightly regulated in time. This emergent fast timescale for signaling is reflect...

Background & Objective: Soy milk contains isoflavones that comprises the phytoestrogens families. They have structural similarities with mammalian estrogen. This study was done to investigate the effects of soy milk on histomorphometric changes of olfactory bulb in neonatal ovariectomized rats. Materials & Methods: Thirty female rats Sprague- Dawley strain (one-day old) were kept in a standa...
متن کاملOlfactory bulb monoamine concentrations vary with time of day.
The olfactory bulb (OB) has been recently identified as a circadian oscillator capable of operating independently of the master circadian pacemaker, the suprachiasmatic nuclei of the hypothalamus. OB oscillations manifest as rhythms in clock genes, electrical activity, and odor sensitivity. Dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin have been shown to modulate olfactory information processing by t...
متن کاملResponse dynamics of entorhinal cortex in awake, anesthetized, and bulbotomized rats.
The generation of oscillatory activity may be crucial to brain function. The coordination of individual neurons into rhythmic and coherently active populations is thought to result from interactions between excitatory and inhibitory cells mediated by local feedback connections. By using extracellular recording wires and silicon microprobes to measure electrically evoked damped oscillatory respo...
