Contrast enhancement is independent of the duration of concentration change step. A, Example of +ΔCt response to two stimuli of different step durations. Raster and PSTH plots of M/T cell response to static high concentration (orange), static low concentration (blue), low to high, step duration one sniff (brown), and low to high, two sniffs duration (black). PSTH of response for high static stimulus is not shown for clarity of visualization. B, C, Normalized changes in spike count and amplitude of the +ΔCt responses as function of step duration. Orange lines are normalized changes for +ΔCt responses, purple lines are for –ΔCt responses. Asterisks mark responses for which the one-sniff step response and the two-sniff step response differ significantly. D, E, Same as B, C for changes in contrast (|dynamic-static|).
