As a service to the olfactory research community, we display here a database of images depicting the spatial distribution of 2-deoxyglucose uptake evoked in the glomerular layer of the rat olfactory bulb in response to a wide range of defined odorant stimuli. We invite visitors either to browse our site using the navigation bar to the left or to search our site using a variety of provided search tools. We provide a number of different display tools allowing our patterns to be viewed from different perspectives, and we also provide descriptions of our methods and of our own interpretations of these data. Some of our more advanced tools require you to download software, a process that we have attempted to make as easy as possible. If you are interested, you can subscribe to our site and thereafter receive email notification of the addition of new data or new tools to the site. We hope that you will find the time you spend here to be valuable, and we would appreciate any feedback that you might have for us.
