Odor encoding by signals in the olfactory bulb

Abstract

We report broad tuning and low odor information available across the lateral and dorsal bulb populations of glomeruli. Even though response latencies can be significantly predictive of stimulus identity, such contained very little information and none that was not redundant with information based on rate coding alone. Last, in line with the emerging notion of the important role of earliest stages of responses (“primacy”), we report a very rapid rise in information after each inhalation.
