Reafference and attractors in the olfactory system during odor recognition

International Journal of Neural Systems

Abstract

Olfactory bulb activity has been postulated to be chaotic, as measured in the EEG, and to be subject to an attractor with many "wings" enabling classification of different learned odor classes. Two parallel questions are thus addressed by the work presented here: (1) what is the evidence for attractors in the olfactory system, which can mediate learned odor classes? and (2) how does the olfactory system enter a specific attractor or attractor wing associated with the learned odor during the classification process? Both of these questions address the wider notion of endogenous activity preparing the system for an expected stimulus, which is at the basis of the reafference principle. By viewing the brain as a distributed complex dynamical system with global attractors, these questions can be answered together. Rats were implanted with bipolar macroelectrodes in the Olfactory Bulb (OB), Prepyriform Cortex (PPC), Entorhinal Cortex (EC), and Dentate Gyrus (DG), and then trained in an operant paradigm to press a bar for a reward in the presence of one odor and to receive no reward in the presence of another odor. Local Field Potentials (LFP) were recorded simultaneously from the structures during the operant task. We present evidence...Continue Reading

Amygdala: Sensory Processes

Amygdalae, nuclei clusters located in the temporal lobe of the brain, play a role in memory, emotional responses, and decision-making. Here is the latest research on sensory processes in the amygdala.

Basal Ganglia

Basal Ganglia are a group of subcortical nuclei in the brain associated with control of voluntary motor movements, procedural and habit learning, emotion, and cognition. Here is the latest research.
