Welcome to the Glomerular Activity Response Archive for the Rat Olfactory Bulb

This archive contains the averaged activity maps that we have generated from the glomerular response to selected odorants in rat olfactory bulbs, as assessed by [14]-C 2-deoxyglucose uptake.  These response profiles may be searched either by the Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number (CAS number) of the odorants, odorant name, chemical formula, or chemical features.  A detailed description of the procedure used to generate the response maps is provided, along with templates for duplication of the technique.  Finally, a profile of identified olfactory bulb glomerular response modules is provided.  This template may be printed on a transparent page to allow individualized comparisons in response patterns among odorants to be made.
