Figure 9B.

Caption (Fig. 9B). Top, Fluctuating
concentration of three odors (A: blue, B: red, C: black). Middle, spiking responses of olfactory receptors.
Bottom, Responses of postsynaptic neurons
from the assembly selective to A (blue) and to B (red). Stimuli are presented is sequence: 1) odor A alone,
2) odor B alone, 3) odor B alone with twice
stronger intensity, 4) odor A with distracting odor C (same intensity), 5) odors A and B (same intensity).
