Differences in olfactory bulb mitral cell spiking with ortho- and retronasal stimulation revealed by data-driven models

LN framework used to analyze OB transfer of input statistics.
A) Schematic of the phenomenological linear-nonlinear (LN) model to approximate how the OB network transfers input statistics. B) The actual ortho (top row) and retro (bottom row) input synapses used in the biophysical OB model results in Fig 3. Comparisons of the Monte Carlo simulations (Eqs (11) and (12)) and theoretical calculations (Eqs (13), (18) and (22) for respective columns) show smooth curve matches even for correlated time-varying (inhomogeneous) Poisson processes.
