Figure 1. The structure of the elementary pheromone component ratio recognition unit in the MGC.

Figure 1

Two groups of ORNs (ORNa and ORNb), each tuned to a specific individual pheromone component, converge onto ipsilateral specialist LNs (LNa and LNb) and onto a generalist LN (LNc). All LNs are interconnected via inhibitory synapses. The response of the model is observed at the intermediary LNi and the PN.
