Fuzzy interval representation of olfactory stimulus concentration in an olfactory glomerulus model

Abstract

The article discusses a study on an olfactory system model which can perform fuzzy signaling of concentration through glomerular competition which leads to inhibition of mitral cells. The authors state the subsystems that comprise the model including an olfactory receptor neuron array, a glomerulus module and a bulb model with mitral and granule cells. They revealed the possibility of gaining a fuzzy interval code for concentration in a glomerulus even with only few active mitral cells.
