Fig. 5. (A,B) Dose–response relationships for two Type I interneurons to
different concentrations of tetramin delivered, respectively, in the P
D
flow direction (squares) and the D
P flow direction (crosses). Each point
is the mean ± 1 s.e.m. of spike responses to five odorant
presentations. Linear fits of the responses of the neuron in A to odorant
flows in the two directions are described by the equations (P
D),
y=13.4(logx)+53.4, R=0.97; (D
P),
y=14.8(logx)+57.5, R=0.98. Linear fits of the
responses of the neuron in B to odorant flows are described by (P
D),
y=5.6(logx)+16.9, R=0.84, (D
P),
y=4.3(logx)+16.7, R=0.86. Paired t-test
statistics for each of the means in the two plots indicate that, with one
marginal exception (A, 0.1 relative concentration), the plots for the
respective flow directions in each cell are not significantly different from
each other.
