Investigating the Underlying Intelligence Mechanisms of the Biological Olfactory System
Figure 3
The flow of olfactory information in the slug brain. Brain activities evoked by superior tentacle (ST) (a) and inferior tentacle (IT) (b) stimulations in early phase (top) and late phase (bottom). Based on the activation patterns evoked by ST and IT stimulations, it was suggested that only the IT stimulation would activate the dopamine system in the early phase (a), (b) top. It may be possible to modulate the functional mode of the procerebrum (PC) activation by the activated dopamine system, so that the processing of olfactory information at PC differs between ST and IT stimulations (a), (b) bottom.
