Abstract

It has been shown that mutual lateral inhibition of the projection neurones in the olfactory bulb, mediated by interneurones, serves to tune the representation of odours in the bulb and reduce the overlap between similaz odorants. In this paper we demonstrate that the parameters of the lateral interaction, specifically the relation of synaptic strength to cell separation and the effective overall gain of the network, have a significant effect on the strength and range of lateral inhibition in a simple model of the olfactory bulb.
