The Results of the Study on Neural Coding for Odors

Multiple Choice

The results of the study on neural coding for odors by Malnic et al. (1999) indicated that:

A) each different odorant stimulated only one olfactory receptor neuron.
B) a particular olfactory receptor neuron responded to only one chemical family of odorants.
C) the pattern of olfactory receptor neuron responses determines how an odorant smells.
D) the pattern of olfactory receptor neuron responses did not differ enough across odorants to account for differences in how odorants smelled.
