Popis: A computer model of the olfactory bulb was constructed. The paper describes: 1) the general architecture of a model neuron network that reflects the neurophysiological experimental and theoretical data on the structural and functional organization of the peripheral part of the olfactory system, the olfactory bulb with inputs from olfactory receptor neurons; 2) the organization of each of three levels of the model: receptors, olfactory glomeruli, and basic neurons; and 3) a scenario of the computer model work. In some aspects, in particular, in the principle of information presentation, the treatment of the role of basic neurons (mitral and tufted cells), and their interrelations in modules, the model favorably differs from the available olfactory bulb models. The model is basic and provides further refinement of the architecture, an increase in the number of modules, and the modeling of the learning process.
