Figure 2. Lateral inhibition in diverse sensilla.

Figure 2

Odorants at the tested concentrations activate only one ORN in each sensillum. a–d, Drosophila sensilla. Activation of the target ORN (orange) inhibited the response of the neighboring ORN (blue) to the background odorant. In a, ab1A and ab1B spikes could not be sorted reliably and were grouped. e, In the capitate-peg sensillum of Anopheles, activation of the cpB neuron by 1-octen-3-ol (10−4) inhibited the response of cpA to CO2. cpB and cpC spikes were combined. n=11~13. Odor dilutions and A neuron basal activities are in Table S2.
