Before revision:  In order to compare quantitatively the prediction of power-law dependence of population mean firing-rate on odorant concentration, a probabilistic model is created to extract information from data available in the experimental literature which, inter alia, allows to pool together several data-sets and hence increase statistical accuracy .
