Is the olfactory bulb computationally similar to the retina?

abstract：:The extracellular pH of living tissue in the retina and elsewhere in the brain is lower than the pH of the surrounding milieu. We have shown that the pH gradient between the in vitro retina and the superfusion solution is regulated by a circadian (24-h) clock so that it is smaller in the subjective day than in the sub...
