| Abstract | Responses of olfactory receptor neurons of spiny lobsters Panulirus argus to two-component mixtures can be shaped by inhibitory events such as odor-activated hyperpolarizations and inhibition of odor-receptor binding (Daniel et al. 1996). In the current study, we extend this analysis to complex mixtures by examining responses of spiny lobster olfactory receptor neurons to mixtures containing up to seven odorants, consisting of adenosine-5′-monophosphate, ammonium, betaine, l-cysteine, l-glutamate, dl-succinate, and taurine. The response to a mixture was often less than the response to its most excitatory component. The effect of adding an excitatory odorant to a mixture depended on olfactory receptor neuron type, composition of the mixture, and which compound was added. In some cases the added excitatory compound had no effect or even decreased the mixture's response intensity, thus demonstrating nonlinear contributions of the components. Response intensities predicted by a noncompetitive model, which is most representative of these olfactory receptor neurons, were improved when the model included a term for empirical measurements of inhibitory binding interactions, suggesting that inhibitory binding interactions are one mechanism contributing to mixture suppression. This model's predictions were accurate for binary mixtures but not for larger mixtures, suggesting that additional inhibitory mechanisms are needed to account for mixture interactions in complex mixtures. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
