Abstract
In the olfactory system, both the temporal spike structure and spatial distribution of neuronal activity are important for processing odor information. This paper simulates the firing activity of olfactory mitral cell. By varying some key parameters of a biophysically-detailed spiking neuronal model, it is shown that the spike train of single neuron can exhibit various firing patterns. Synchronization in coupled neurons is also investigated as the coupling strength varying in the situation of two neurons and network. It is illustrated that the coupled neurons can exhibit different types of pattern when the coupling strength varies. These results may be instructive to understand information transmission in olfactory system.
