Figure 2. PN and LN responses were strongly phase-locked to the LFP.

Figure 2

(A) Example simultaneous intracellular recordings from PN and LN, with LFP recorded in the MB. First 2 s after the odor onset shown; brackets: portions expanded beneath. Odorant: 1% benzyl alcohol.

(B) Subthreshold oscillations: 5-trial average sliding-window cross-correlograms show reliable LFP and subthreshold membrane potential oscillations for the PN (top) and LN (bottom) in [A]. Spikes were clipped. Vertical bars: odor pulses.

(C) Spike-LFP phase relationships: Polar histograms show phase position, relative to LFP, of spikes recorded in PNs (n=14) and LNs (n=30) for fast and slow oscillations. Concentric circles: firing probability. Black arrows: mean direction.

(D) All recorded neurons were filled with dye and later morphologically identified. Example of PN and LN morphology. An Alexa-fluor-633 (red) filled PN and an Alexa-fluor-568 (yellow) filled LN are shown. Scale bar: 50 μm. AN: antennal nerve.
