Figure 3: Spike discharges induced in Olfr1019 glomeruli in the photoilluminated KI mouse.

(a) Light-evoked spike discharges in the external plexiform layer (EPL) and mitral cell layer (MCL) units. Three examples are shown for EPL and MCL units, respectively. Durations of the photoillumination (200 ms) is indicated by cyan bars. (b) Extracellular single-cell recording with various light intensities in the KI-OB. Dose–response curves show the spike discharge rate in the different light intensity with the range from 0.04 to 2.0 mW mm−2. EPL unit (blue), n=4/45 tested; MCL unit (red), n=4/60 trails. (c) Spike-rate analysis in the EPL and MCL units. Various durations of light stimulation were given from 20 s. All values are in mean ±s.e.m. For ECL units, n=5/55 trials for 20 ms; n=7/65 trials for 200 ms; n=6/60 trials for 400 ms. For MCL units, n=4/45 trials for 20 ms; n=3/35 trials for 50 ms; n=5/55 trials for 100 ms; n=7/80 trials for 200 ms; n=5/60 trials for 400 ms.
