Olfactory Discrimination in the Rabbit Olfactory Glomerulus

J. Leveteau 1 and P. MacLeod 1

1 Laboratoire de Physiologie Générale, 9, Quai Saint-Bernard, Paris 5e

Slow potentials evoked by odor stimulation were recorded from individual glomeruli in the olfactory bulb. Systematic analysis of responses to nine different, arbitrarily selected stimuli strongly suggests a certain amount of discrimination. This fact seems to reflect in the first synapse of the olfactory tract the type of discrimination that was recently demonstrated within olfactory neuroepithelium.
