Preferred term

olfactory bulb: functional architecture  

Definition(s)

  • The neural architecture of a sensory system reflects two general principles: the physics of stimuli in the relevant sensory modality and the mechanisms and compromises implemented by the system to extract useful information for the organism at minimal metabolic cost. At a high level of abstraction, many of these problems are common to all sensory systems. [Source: Encyclopedia of Perception; Olfactory Bulb: Functional Architecture]
