Abstract
Until now, olfactory discrimination had never been investigated using stimuli delivered over a wide concentration range. However, the fact that intensity variation might influence qualitative discrimination has been suggested in numerous physiological and psychophysical studies. The aim of the present work was to investigate qualitative coding mechanisms when stimulus intensity varies. For this purpose, receptor cell and olfactory bulb neuron unit activities were recorded in response to 2-s pulse delivery of 4 odorants available at 20 discrete concentration values over a range from 1 × 10−6 to 5.62 × 10−2 of saturation. Two types of mathematical analyses, Pearson's r correlation coefficient calculation and principal component factor analysis, were applied to odor-evoked discharge frequencies. In both receptor cells and bulb neurons, qualitative discrimination abilities were found to increase with stimulus concentration. Furthermore, the results suggest that the olfactory bulb can send a discriminant and specific message at lower concentrations than the olfactory mucosa. The amplifying role of convergence of primary afferences onto olfactory glomeruli could account for this ability of the bulb neurons.
