Moth olfactory receptor neurons adjust their encoding efficiency to temporal statistics of pheromone fluctuations.

The efficient coding hypothesis predicts that sensory neurons adjust their coding resources to optimally represent the stimulus statistics of their environment. To test this prediction in the moth olfactory system, we have developed a stimulation protocol that mimics the natural temporal structure w...
