Preliminary results
A schematic of a simplified model structure is shown in Fig \ref{div-161314}. The firing rate of the output neuron is \(v\). Each ORN has a firing rate has a time-dependent firing rate \(u_{i}(t)\), which depends on the odor concentration: strong odors elicit a fast response, while weak odors elicit a slow response. In addition, there is a lag time for the signal to travel from an ORN to the output neuron, based on the distance \(x_{i}\), which represents a location along the antenna.
