Deconstructing Odorant Identity via Primacy in Dual Networks
Daniel Kepple, Hamza Giaffar, Dmitry Rinberg +1
In the olfactory system, odor percepts retain their identity despite substantial variations in concentration, timing, and background. We propose a novel strategy for encoding inten…
Odors in olfactory bulb are defined by a short discrete temporal sequence: recognition by brute-force conversion to a spatial pattern (chunking)
Honi Sanders, Brian Kolterman, Roman Shusterman +3
Mitral cells, the principal neurons in the olfactory bulb, respond to odorants by firing bursts of action potentials called sharp events. A given cell produces a sharp event at a f…
Sparse incomplete representations: A novel role for olfactory granule cells
Alexei A. Koulakov, Dmitry Rinberg
Mitral cells of the olfactory bulb form sparse representations of the odorants and transmit this information to the cortex. The olfactory code carried by the mitral cells is sparse…
The structure of human olfactory space
Alexei A. Koulakov, Armen G. Enikolopov, Dmitry Rinberg
We analyze the psychophysical responses of human observers to an ensemble of monomolecular odorants. Each odorant is characterized by a set of 146 perceptual descriptors obtained f…
Combinatorial on/off Model for Olfactory Coding
A. Koulakov, A. Gelperin, D. Rinberg
We present a model for olfactory coding based on spatial representation of glomerular responses. In this model distinct odorants activate specific subsets of glomeruli, dependent u…
How to find decision makers in neural circuits?
Alexei A. Koulakov, Dmitry Rinberg, Dmitry N. Tsigankov
Neural circuits often face the problem of classifying stimuli into discrete groups and making decisions based on such classifications. Neurons of these circuits can be distinguishe…
