Fig. 5.
Scatter plots showing the relationship between water solubility and 2DG uptake in posterior regions of both the medial (A) and the lateral (B) aspects of the glomerular layer. For every odorant-evoked activity pattern in our database (311 total patterns), uptake was averaged within the two regions shown as an inset in A. The value of uptake then was plotted as a function of the logarithm of water solubility, which was originally obtained in units of mg/L. Each point represents an odorant, and larger symbols are used to show the contribution made by particular classes of odorants as indicated in the key. The lines are the result of least squares, linear regressions of the data, which showed a statistically significant correlation between water solubility and uptake in both aspects of the bulb. Odorants of various classes that were highly water-soluble evoked high levels of uptake in the posterior modules.
