Computational Model. (a) Circuit diagram of the model. ORNs excite PNs and LNs in the AL according to their receptor type (colours). LNs also receive excitation from the PNs within the same glomerulus. LNs inhibit PNs and LNs in all other glomeruli but not in their own. (b) Response of the ORNs to different mixtures of the “IAA” and “Geosmin” odours. (c) Example data for a typical odour response. The bar in the top panel indicates odour exposure. For ORNs, PNs and LNs, the trace of one arbitrary example neuron connected to the most strongly responding glomerulus is shown. Spikes were added to the LIF membrane potential traces as vertical lines for clarity. (d) Time-averaged responses of the PNs (Spike density function SDF) in the strongest responding glomerulus in response to 100 different simulated odours presented for 3 s each and at different concentrations. (e) Heat maps illustrating the mean PN activity across each of the glomeruli in response to “Geosmin”, “IAA”, and mixtures of the two odours.
