Figure 1. The ability of M71 transgenic mice to detect acetophenone is task-dependent. ; (A, B) In a go/no go operant conditioning task, M71 transgenic mice fail to discriminate acetophenone from mineral oil (left panels). In contrast, M71 transgenic mice readily discriminate other pairs of odorants (ethyl acetate vs. mineral oil, citronellol, or carvone, right panels). (A) Original results reported in Fleischmann et al. (2008). (B) Repeat experiment with an additional cohort of mice. Thin lines: learning curves for individual mice. Thick lines: averaged learning curves. Error bars: 95% CI of the mean. (C) Sniff adaptation: schematic of the experimental configuration. (D) Example sniff traces during first 3 (1st, 2nd, and 3rd) presentations of hexanone (shaded area) from a control mouse. Lighter colored traces signify later presentations. ‘FV’ trace shows opening of final valve directing odorized air to the mouse, ‘flow’ trace shows the output from the olfactometer, and ‘PID’ trace shows signal evoked by odorized air from a photo-ionization detector. (E) Example moving averages of instantaneous sniff frequency during first 3 presentations of hexanone (window = 500 ms, plotted against leading edge). Black traces: controls, red traces: M71 transgenic mice. (F, G) Mean instantaneous sniff frequency responses to first vs. the average of the 2nd and 3rd presentation of an odor for control (black, F) and M71 transgenic (red, G) mice. Pooled non-acetophenone odorants: hexanone, ethyl acetate, heptanal, and an odor mixture. Lighter colors: individual trials, thick lines: averages. Error bars: SD. Black dotted lines on the M71 plots show the means for the corresponding data from controls.

Figure 1. Odor responses in piriform cortex. ; (A) Schematic of experimental setup. (B) Left, Coronal brain section showing region of anterior piriform cortex where recordings were obtained. Multielectrode probes were painted with DiI to mark recording locations (red, DiI; green, NeuroTrace). DiI in the left hemisphere is from a separate recording. Right, higher magnification image of boxed area on left, superimposed with a schematic at scale of a 32-channel probe. Numerals indicate piriform layers. Note the electrode tip spans layer II. (C) Dorso-ventral (DV) distribution of 459 isolated cells (n = 9 experiments) determined by measuring the center of mass of each unit’s waveform amplitudes recorded on different channels across the probe. (D) Population activity and timing of odor delivery. One-second odor pulses (black bar, isoamyl acetate) were triggered on exhalation. Blue shaded region indicates first full respiration cycle after odor onset. Population raster plots below display spiking activity of 33 simultaneously recorded cells sorted by estimated DV position within layer II. (E) Inhalation-aligned raster plots showing responses of three simultaneously recorded cells to three different odor stimuli (0.3% v./v.). Gray shading indicates odor delivery. Blue shading indicates respiration cycle. Cells displayed varying degrees of odor specificity, activation or suppression, and temporal precision. (F–G) Population responses in a representative experiment with 48 simultaneously recorded neurons sorted by relative DV location responding to six different monomolecular odorants (0.3%). (F). Firing rates during the first respiration cycle after odor onset. A mineral oil control is shown on left. (G). Same data expressed using a response index where cells with response index values of −1 (blue) and 1 (red) are unambiguously suppressed or activated, respectively. Odors: et. bu., ethyl butyrate; 2-hxn., 2-hexanone; is. ac., isoamyl acetate; hex., hexanal; et. ti., ethyl tiglate; et. ac., ethyl acetate. (H–J) Percent cells responding to different numbers of odorants with significantly increased spiking (H), decreased spiking (I), or mixed polarity responses (J). Filled circles are mean ± s.e.m. (n = 9). The dashed line denotes the expected distribution when cell identities are shuffled; shaded area, 5th–95th percentiles.
