  • Title: Olfactory epithelium: unitary responses in the tortoise.
    Author: SHIBUYA T, SHIBUYA S.
    Journal: Science; 1963 May 03; 140(3566):495-6. PubMed ID: 13977260.
    Abstract:
    In the tortoise, Gopherus polyphemus, single unit spikes in the olfactory epithelium in response to amyl acetate were positive relative to the slow potential. The number of spikes in a response train was 4 to 15, the duration 3 to 4 msec, the height 0.5 to 2 mv. The height of successive spikes in a train decreased. The decrement in height, the number, and the frequency of spikes changed with the strength of the odor.
