Summary & Conclusion

27

  • Synchrony across receptor neurons encodes odor stimulus onset.
  • Latency and jitter of first spike latencies encodes odorant concentration.
  • The order of first spike latencies across receptor neurons encodes odorant

identity (and is concentration invariant).

  • The olfactory system could use temporal encoding for fluctuating odor stimuli,

and rate encoding for static odor stimuli.

  • First spike latency coding supports odor source separation.

First spike latency: < 3 ms Odorant A ab2A ab3A Jitter: < 0.3 ms (stimulus detection: < 0.02 ms) Odorant A, B ab2A ab3A
