哺乳动物和昆虫嗅觉系统的一个统一特征是表达相同的独特气味受体基因的嗅觉感觉神经元(OSN)聚集在大脑中的相同肾小球上。大多数气味激活受体的组合,从而不同的肾小球模式,形成一个拟议的组合空间代码,可以支持大量的气味之间的歧视。OSNs也表现出复杂的时间动态的气味诱发反应,但这种活动的贡献行为的气味歧视很少受到关注。在这里,我们调查的重要性,空间编码在相对简单的果蝇触角叶。我们表明,果蝇可以学习区分两种气味与一个功能类的Or83b表达OSN。此外,这些苍蝇编码一种气味的混合物,并交叉适应气味激活相关的OSN类,表明他们歧视气味使用相同的OSN。最后,具有一类表达Or83b的OSN的果蝇在一定浓度范围内识别特定的气味剂,这表明它们编码气味剂身份。因此,苍蝇可以区分气味没有离散的空间代码在触角叶,这意味着气味诱发的时间动力学行为的气味歧视的重要作用。
A unifying feature of mammalian and insect olfactory systems is that olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) expressing the same unique odorant receptor gene converge onto the same glomeruli in the brain. Most odorants activate a combination of receptors and thus distinct patterns of glomeruli, forming a proposed combinatorial spatial code that could support discrimination between a large number of odorants. OSNs also exhibit odor-evoked responses with complex temporal dynamics, but the contribution of this activity to behavioral odor discrimination has received little attention. Here we investigated the importance of spatial encoding in the relatively simple Drosophila antennal lobe. We show that Drosophila can learn to discriminate between two odorants with one functional class of Or83b-expressing OSNs. Furthermore, these flies encode one odorant from a mixture, and cross-adapt to odorants that activate the relevant OSN class, demonstrating that they discriminate odorants using the same OSNs. Lastly, flies with a single class of Or83b-expressing OSNs recognize a specific odorant across a range of concentration indicating that they encode odorant identity. Therefore flies can distinguish odorants without discrete spatial codes in the antennal lobe, implying an important role for odorant-evoked temporal dynamics in behavioral odorant discrimination.
