Odor Processing in the Bee: A Preliminary Study of the Role of Central Input to the Antennal Lobe
Abstract
Based on precise anatomical data of the bee's olfactory system, we propose an investigation of the possible mechanisms of modulation and control between the two levels of olfactory information processing: the antennallobe glomeruli and the mushroom bodies. We use simplified neurons, but realistic architecture. As a first conclusion, we postulate that the feature extraction performed by the antennallobe (glomeruli and interneurons) necessitates central input from the mushroom bodies for fine tuning. The central input thus facilitates the evolution from fuzzy olfactory images in the glomerular layer towards more focussed images upon odor presentation.
