Fig. 3: Response properties are maintained with different odor doses.

From: Stimulus duration encoding occurs early in the moth olfactory pathway

Fig. 3

A Raster plots aligned to the stimulus termination, as in Fig. 2C, but with different odorant doses (N = 52–57 sensilla). For all doses, the spiking response exceeded the short (20 ms) stimulus but terminated rapidly with the longer stimulus (2 s). The red vertical line represents the point in time when 50% of the ORNs' responses finished. B The equivalent of Fig. 2F for different odorant doses. With all tested doses, the neurons exhibited a transient inhibition after the 200 ms and 2 s stimuli. C Firing rate shapes normalized to the peak for different stimulus durations and doses. The general shape was independent of the odorant dose. The black bar indicates the stimulus presence.
