Abstract
Correlated behavioral and electrophysiological experiments can provide an insight into olfactory coding. Conditioned responses uncovered that catfish either discriminate (perceive differently), do not discriminate (perceive equally), or sometimes do and other times do not discriminate (perceive similarly) chemical stimuli. To reveal if equally, differently and similarly perceived stimuli have equal, different and similar codes; respectively, electrophysiological responses of single olfactory receptor cells to the respective pairs of stimuli will be tested.
