With odor gains fitted, shared glomeruli cut mean 0 to 5 s calcium trace test error by 4.0% against plane controls in three mice

We tested whether a traced common input predicts the calcium response time course after response size and sign can be fitted. We used 371 mitral or tufted cells in 67 glomeruli from three anesthetized mice, with 47 or 48 odors and repeated trials. For each cell and odor, training trials fitted a constant and gain for a mean sister-cell template. Separate trials tested the prediction from 0 to 5 seconds after odor onset. Against templates from other cells in the same imaging plane, mean squared error fell by 5.93%, 5.51%, and 0.44%. The equal-animal mean decrease was 3.96%. A label test with group counts fixed within planes gave conditional p = 0.001 from 999 shuffles. A descriptive glomerulus bootstrap range was 2.14% to 6.38%. Gains were small during the odor period alone. In the third sample, a constant response level gave less error than either waveform template. An exploratory check with the same number of nearest cell bodies kept the main direction. The source study already showed sister-cell timing differences; this work tests transfer to separate trials with fitted gains and plane controls. The result concerns slow calcium traces with target training responses available, not spike timing or prediction of unseen cells from anatomy alone. Gain fits do not match template noise, so cleaner common waveforms can also explain the gain. We preserve compact inputs, source hashes, code, all results, and figures.
