• A.K.Vidybida. "Selectivity improvement of olfactory projection neurons at low concentration of odors"
  (Talk made online October 2, 2020 to students of Medical Faculty of Yozgat Bozok University (Turkey)).
  Abstract: A possible mechanism that provides increased selectivity of olfactory bulb projection neurons, as compared
  to that of the primary olfactory receptor neurons, has been proposed. The mechanism operates at low concentrations
  of the odor molecules, when the lateral inhibition mechanism becomes inefficient. The mechanism proposed is based
  on a threshold-type reaction to the stimuli received by a projection neuron from a few receptor neurons, the stochastic
  nature of these stimuli, and the existence of electrical leakage in the projection neurons. The mechanism operates
  at the level of the single individual projection neuron and does not require the involvement of other bulbar neurons.
