Abstract:
Recently, it has been discovered that for the selectivity gain due to fluctuations in the olfactory receptor neuron (ORN) there exists the optimal concentration of odors at which increased selectivity manifested most. We check what could be the gain value at that concentration by modeling ORN as a leaky integrate-and-fire neuron with membrane populated by receptor proteins (R) which bind and release odor molecules randomly. Each bound (R) opens a depolarizing channel, Eq. (1), below.
