Sudden Intrabulbar Amyloid Increase Simultaneously Disrupts Olfactory Bulb Oscillations and Odor Detection

Figure 4

Olfaction is reduced by the acute administration of Aβ1-42, which is related to the deterioration of the OB activity and cross-correlation. (a) Quantification of the time to reach a hidden piece of smelly food before (Baseline) and 60 min after the administration of either the inverse sequence Aβ42-1 () or Aβ1-42 (). (b) Linear regression analyses to evaluate the relationship between olfactory function, measured as the latency to find a hidden piece of smelly food, and the activity of the OB in the following frequency bands: theta (1-12 Hz; top right), beta (13-35 Hz; bottom left), and gamma (36-59 Hz; bottom right), as well as the correlation between the activities of both OBs (top left). denotes a significant difference compared to a control test ().
