Notes:
Abstract It is shown that there exist spatial distributions of nonzero steady state mean pulse rates of the periglomerular and mitraltufted neuron populations and of nonzero EEG in the mammalian olfactory bulb. Such distributions are stable, i.e., if there are small perturbations, the population state variables return to the equilibrium states. It is predicted that the sensory and centrifugal inputs to the neuron populations in the bulb determine existence of such active states.
