Quantifying Odor-Evoked Neuronal Responses

The monotonicity of the response x (x = maximal spike density function (SDF) or averaged SDF, each across all glomeruli) in this context was calculated as.

m = \frac{x (10^{- 1}) - max (x)}{mean (x)},

i.e. the difference between the SDF at the highest tested odour concentration (

10^{- 1})

and the highest observed SDF, normalised by the mean observed SDF, where the maximum and mean were taken across all concentrations from

10^{- 7}

10^{- 1}

. Monotonicity takes values smaller or equal 0, and monotonic odours have

m = 0

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
