Antennal Lobe Atlas of an Emerging Corn Pest, Athetis dissimilis [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2020 Moths develop sophisticated olfactory systems to sense the airborne chemical cues from the environment. Understanding the structural basis in the neuronal center is a fundamental neuroethological step. Little is known about the emerging crop pest Athetis

Glomerular Organization in the Antennal Lobe of the Oriental Fruit Fly Bactrocera dorsalis [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2018 The oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis is one of the most destructive pests of horticultural crops in tropical and subtropical Asia. The insect relies heavily on its olfactory system to select suitable hosts for development and reproduction.

A resource for the Drosophila antennal lobe provided by the connectome of glomerulus VA1v [PDF]
eLife, 2018 Using FIB-SEM we report the entire synaptic connectome of glomerulus VA1v of the right antennal lobe in Drosophila melanogaster. Within the glomerulus we densely reconstructed all neurons, including hitherto elusive local interneurons.

Interspecific variation of antennal lobe composition among four hornet species [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Olfaction is a crucial sensory modality underlying foraging, social and mating behaviors in many insects. Since the olfactory system is at the interface between the animal and its environment, it receives strong evolutionary pressures that promote ...

Experimental and theoretical probe on mechano- and chemosensory integration in the insect antennal lobe [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 In nature, olfactory signals are delivered to detectors—for example, insect antennae—by means of turbulent air, which exerts concurrent chemical and mechanical stimulation on the detectors.

Early Draper-mediated glial refinement of neuropil architecture and synapse number in the Drosophila antennal lobe [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2023 Glial phagocytic activity refines connectivity, though molecular mechanisms regulating this exquisitely sensitive process are incompletely defined. We developed the Drosophila antennal lobe as a model for identifying molecular mechanisms underlying glial

Granger Causality Analysis of Transient Calcium Dynamics in the Honey Bee Antennal Lobe Network [PDF]
Insects, 2023 Odorant processing presents multiple parallels across animal species, and insects became relevant models for the study of olfactory coding because of the tractability of the underlying neural circuits.

An updated antennal lobe atlas for the yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020 The yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti is a prolific vector of arboviral and filarial diseases that largely relies on its sense of smell to find humans. To facilitate in-depth analysis of the neural circuitry underlying Ae.

Nitric oxide has differential effects on currents in different subsets of Manduca sexta antennal lobe neurons. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Nitric oxide has been shown to regulate many biological systems including olfaction. In the moth olfactory system nitric oxide is produced in the antennal lobe in response to odor stimulation and has complex effects on the activity of both projection ...

Representation of thermal information in the antennal lobe of leaf-cutting ants [PDF]
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2010 Insects are equipped with various types of antennal sensilla, which house thermosensitive neurons adapted to receive different parameters of the thermal environment for a variety of temperature-guided behaviors. In the leaf-cutting ant Atta vollenweideri,
