To study the mechanism whereby odorants are encoded in the nervous system, we studied the glomerular-layer activity patterns in the rat olfactory bulb evoked by closely related odorants from different chemical families. These odorants had a common straightchain hydrocarbon structure, but differed sy
A fundamental problem in studying the neural mechanisms of odor recognition and discrimination in the olfactory system lies in determining the features or "primitives" of an odor stimulus that are analyzed by glomerular circuits at the first level of processing in the brain. Several recent studies s
