Adaptation is a fundamental neural mechanism for stable sensory perception in a changing environment. For example, our perception of the contrast between the black text and the white background of a page remains constant under a variety of illumination conditions ranging from indoor lighting to bright sunlight. In a manner similar to this, the olfactory system must be able to perceive the same odor identity across a wide range of concentrations. Why might this be important? To navigate towards an odor source, a Drosophila larva must be able to recognize odor intensity as well as concentration-invariant odor identity. From physiological studies, how-ever, we know that the odor response of odorant receptor neurons (ORNs) normally saturates wi...
