Subject RIV: ED - Physiology
Impact factor: 1.316, year: 2001
Signal processing in the olfactory system is initiated by binding of odorant molecules to receptor molecules embedded in the membranes of sensory neurons. The obvious implications of the modeling study - that the heterogeneity of receptors enlarges the coding range and incereases the sensitivity of the system - are quantified.
