Response accuracy and odor-sampling times were used to compare the ability of mice to detect (+)-carvone and (+)-terpinen-4-ol and to discriminate between enantiomers of carvone and of terpinen-4-ol. Except for increased odor sampling when mice were first exposed to the (+)-carvone odor, there was no difference in odor-sampling time or response accuracy in tests of odor detection or in discriminating between enantiomers of these odorants. These results fail to support the suggestion that odorants that produce different patterns of olfactory bulb activation should be easier to discriminate than those that produce much more similar patterns of bulbar activation.
反应准确性和气味采样时间被用于比较小鼠检测（+）-香芹酮和（+）-萜品-4-醇的能力，以及区分香芹酮和萜品-4-醇对映体的能力。除了小鼠首次接触（+）-香芹酮气味时气味采样增加外，在气味检测测试或区分这些气味剂对映体时，气味采样时间或反应准确性没有差异。这些结果未能支持以下观点：与产生更相似嗅球激活模式的气味剂相比，产生不同嗅球激活模式的气味剂应该更容易区分。
