    Summary: "Understanding the genetic architecture underlying complex multigene disorders is one of the major goals of human genetics in the upcoming decades. Advances in whole genome sequencing and the success of high throughput functional genomics allow supplementing conventional reductionist biology with systems-level approaches to human heredity and health as systems of interacting genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors. This integrative approach holds the promise of unveiling yet unexplored levels of molecular organization and biological complexity. It may also hold the key to deciphering the multigene patterns of disease inheritance"--Publisher's description.

    1. Receptor cell activity in the frog's eminentia olfactoria was recorded using metal-filled micro-electrodes. 2. Several units discharged spontaneously with a mean frequency lower than 0.2 spikes per sec, or were silent in periods of up to 5 min. The other units displayed spontaneous activities between 0.2 and 1.05 spikes per sec; their activity could be modelled with a Poisson process. 3. Near-threshold responses to odour stimulation were investigated, considering several stimulations within a small concentration range. Low concentration stimulations were sometimes followed by a response, sometimes not. The concept of response probability is introduced to describe this incertitude. 4. The distribution of the number of spikes in several odour trials at low concentrations showed a reasonable agreement with two types of Poisson distribution. 5. The findings are discussed in connexion with receptor cell sensitivity and the excitation of second order neurones in the bulb.
