Soelter, Jan published the artcileComputational exploration of molecular receptive fields in the olfactory bulb reveals a glomerulus-centric chemical map, SDS of cas: 5405-41-4, the main research area is dorsal olfactory bulb glomerulus centric chem map computational exploration.
Progress in olfactory research is currently hampered by incomplete knowledge about chem. receptive ranges of primary receptors. Moreover, the chem. logic underlying the arrangement of computational units in the olfactory bulb has still not been resolved. We undertook a large-scale approach at characterizing mol. receptive ranges (MRRs) of glomeruli in the dorsal olfactory bulb (dOB) innervated by the MOR18-2 olfactory receptor, also known as Olfr78, with human ortholog OR51E2. Guided by an iterative approach that combined biol. screening and machine learning, we selected 214 odorants to characterize the response of MOR18-2 and its neighboring glomeruli. We found that a combination of conventional physico-chem. and vibrational mol. descriptors performed best in predicting glomerular responses using nonlinear Support-Vector Regression. We also discovered several previously unknown odorants activating MOR18-2 glomeruli, and obtained detailed MRRs of MOR18-2 glomeruli and their neighbors. Our results confirm earlier findings that demonstrated tunotopy, i.e., glomeruli with similar tuning curves tend to be located in spatial proximity in the dOB. In addition, our results indicate chemotopy, i.e., a preference for glomeruli with similar physico-chem. MRR descriptions being located in spatial proximity. Together, these findings suggest the existence of a partial chem. map underlying glomerular arrangement in the dOB. Our methodol. that combines machine learning and physiol. measurements lights the way towards future high-throughput studies to deorphanise and characterize structure-activity relationships in olfaction.
