Olfactory receptor neurons use gain control and complementary kinetics to encode intermittent odorant stimuli

Olfactory receptor neurons use gain control and complementary kinetics to encode intermittent odorant stimuli

Insects find food and mates by navigating odorant plumes that can be highly intermittent, with intensities and durations that vary rapidly over orders of magnitude. Much is known about olfactory responses to pulses and steps, but it remains unclear how olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) detect the in...
