Dynamical Architecture of the Mammalian Olfactory System
نویسنده
چکیده
The mammalian olfactory system shows many types of sensory and perceptual processing accompanied by oscillations at the level of the local field potential, and much is already known about the cellular and synaptic origins of these markers of coherent population activity. Complex, but chemotopic input patterns describe the qualitative similarity of odors, but animals can discriminate even very similar odorants. Coherent population activity signified by oscillations may assist the animals in discrimination of closely related odors. Manipulations to olfactory bulb centrifugal input and GABAergic circuitry can alter the degree of gamma (40-100 Hz) oscillatory coupling within the olfactory bulb, affecting animals’ ability to discriminate highly overlapping odors. The demands of an odor discrimination can also enhance gamma oscillations, but this may depend on the cognitive demands of the task, with some tasks spreading the processing over many brain regions, accompanied by beta (15-30 Hz) instead of gamma oscillations.

متن کاملSimulation of the Freeman Model of the Olfactory Cortex:
It has been shown that a framework composed of digital signal processing (DSP) elements can be used to simulate and study Freeman’s model of the biologically realistic olfactory cortex. In this paper, based on impulse invariant transformation, a DSP environment has been developed corresponding to the original continuous-time dynamical system. The performance of the DSP system is quantitatively ...

Epistemologically speaking, second language acquisition research (SLAR) might be reconsidered from a complex dynamical system view with interconnected aspects in the ecosystem of language acquisition. The present paper attempts to introduce the tenets of complex system theory and its application in SLAR. It has been suggested that the present dominant traditions in language acquisition research...
متن کاملDynamical System and Semi-Hereditarily Hypercyclic Property
In this paper we give conditions for a tuple of commutative bounded linear operators which holds in the property of the Hypercyclicity Criterion. We characterize topological transitivity and semi-hereiditarily of a dynamical system given by an n-tuple of operators acting on a separable infinite dimensional Banach space .
متن کاملSolving Second Kind Volterra-Fredholm Integral Equations by Using Triangular Functions (TF) and Dynamical Systems
The method of triangular functions (TF) could be a generalization form of the functions of block-pulse (Bp). The solution of second kind integral equations by using the concept of TF would lead to a nonlinear equations system. In this article, the obtained nonlinear system has been solved as a dynamical system. The solution of the obtained nonlinear system by the dynamical system throug...
