Systematic mapping studies involving 365 odorant chemicals have shown that glomerular
responses in the rat olfactory bulb are organized spatially in patterns that are related to the …

To study the mechanism whereby odorants are encoded in the nervous system, we studied
the glomerular‐layer activity patterns in the rat olfactory bulb evoked by closely related …

In an effort to understand the olfactory code of rats, we collected more than 1,500,000
measurements of glomerular activity in response to 54 odorants selected to provide …

To determine whether there is a general strategy used by the olfactory system to represent
odorants differing in carbon chain length, rats were exposed to homologous series of …

In order to determine whether molecular features of odorants are represented spatially in the
glomerular layer of the olfactory bulb, we used metabolic mapping of [14C] 2‐deoxyglucose …

In an effort to understand the means by which similar chemical odorants are encoded in the
mammalian brain, we exposed rats to a homologous series of n‐aliphatic acids and mapped …

In mammals, two recent studies have shown recently that one odor molecule can be
recognized by several molecular olfactory receptors (ORs), and a single OR can recognize …

In the mammalian brain, similar features of the sensory stimuli are often represented in
proximity in the sensory areas. However, how chemical features are represented in the …

The molecular basis of vertebrate odorant representations has been derived extensively
from mice. The functional correlates of these molecular features were visualized using …

There have been a number of recent approaches to the study of olfactory coding, each of
which has its advantages and disadvantages. In the present review, we discuss our own …
