Figure 6. Individual Mitral Cell Responses are Unaltered by Increasing the Area of Olfactory Bulb Photostimulation.

Figure 6

(A and B) Peristimulus time histograms (PSTHs) assembled from multitrial light stimulations of the same cell under narrow 100 μm diameter (A) or broad 300 μm diameter (B) illumination of the dorsal olfactory bulb. Raster sweeps used to generate the PSTHs are shown at the top of each panel.

(C) Distribution plot of cell responses under either narrow or broad light stimulation. Shown are 20 independent trials for both narrow and broad stimulations overlaid for each independent cell analyzed. The two red asterisks denote cells that were found to be significantly different in narrow versus broad illumination responses using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov nonparametric two-sample test constrained to a p value of less than 0.05.
