Abstract
In this chapter we develop a model of a “nose” with three receptors. Each of the three receptors is tuned to a particular type of odor. The goal of the “nose” is for the dominant receptor to suppress the other two odors in order to send a clear signal to the brain regarding the type of odor being sensed.
A save-disabled version of STELLA and the computer models of this book are available at www.iseesystems.com/modelingdynamicbiologicalsystems.
