Figure 1

A Anatomy of the olfactory system of the honeybee. Olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) on the antenna are depicted as blue spheres, the glomeruli of the AL were derived from the 3D AL atlas [3] and each glomerulus for which we had sufficient data (transparent) was modeled with 5 PNs (red spheres) and one LN (green spheres). B Functional network architecture. ORNs of the same type converge onto the same glomerulus in which they excite all PNs and the LN. The LN of each glomerulus inhibits all PNs of the same glomerulus and of other glomeruli. The strength of inhibition was chosen proportional to the correlation of PN activity of the glomeruli as observed in the data. The LNs also inhibit each other, forming a winner-take-all circuit. C example simulation data from PNs (red) and LNs (green).
