Modeling the effect of different stimulus dynamics and intensity on ORN response dynamics. The same LN model (Fig. 7d) is used for all simulations. Simulated stimuli (first column) were all 500 ms long with exponential rising and decay timescale τ and produced nonsaturated responses. a, Response to stimuli with identical intensities but different timescales (τ = 13–800 ms). b, Response to stimuli with different amplitudes but identical timescales (τ = 10 ms). c, Same as in b but for a slow odor (τ = 300 ms). d, Same as in c but now τ decreases with stimulus intensity as we observed for slow odors (Fig. 1d) (τ = 0.1–1 s).
