Variations on a Theme: Antennal Lobe Architecture across Coleoptera. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2016 Beetles comprise about 400,000 described species, nearly one third of all known animal species. The enormous success of the order Coleoptera is reflected by a rich diversity of lifestyles, behaviors, morphological, and physiological adaptions. All these evolutionary adaptions that have been driven by a variety of parameters over the last about 300 ...

Integration of the antennal lobe glomeruli and three projection neurons in the standard brain atlas of the moth Heliothis virescens [PDF]
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2010 Digital three dimensional standard brain atlases are valuable tools for integrating neuroimaging data of different preparations. In insects, standard brain atlases of five species are available, including the atlas of the female Heliothis virescens moth ...

Combinatorial encoding of odors in the mosquito antennal lobe [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 Among the cues that a mosquito uses to find a host for blood-feeding, the smell of the host plays an important role. Previous studies have shown that host odors contain hundreds of chemical odorants, which are detected by different receptors on the ...

Function and Morphology of the Antennal Lobe: New Developments [PDF]
Annual Review of Entomology, 2000 ▪ Abstract The antennal lobe of insects has emerged as an excellent model for olfactory processing in the CNS. In the present review we compile data from areas where substantial progress has been made during recent years: structure-function relationships within the glomerular array, integration and blend specificity, time coding and the effects of ...

Apis mellifera octopamine receptor 1 (AmOA1) expression in antennal lobe networks of the honey bee (Apis mellifera) and fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) [PDF]
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2013 Octopamine (OA) underlies reinforcement during appetitive conditioning in the honey bee and fruit fly, acting via different subtypes of receptors. Recently, antibodies raised against a peptide sequence of one honey bee OA receptor, AmOA1, were used to ...

Functional integration of a serotonergic neuron in the Drosophila antennal lobe [PDF]
eLife, 2016 Serotonin plays a critical role in regulating many behaviors that rely on olfaction and recently there has been great effort in determining how this molecule functions in vivo. However, it remains unknown how serotonergic neurons that innervate the first

Central Projections of Antennal Sensory Neurons in the Aphid Myzus persicae [PDF]
InsectsThe aphid Myzus persicae is an important agricultural pest relying on olfactory cues to find food and escape from predators. The considerable difficulty of anatomical manipulation and other related technical challenges may underlie the absence of studies

Model of Transient Oscillatory Synchronization in the Locust Antennal Lobe [PDF]
Neuron, 2001 Transient pairwise synchronization of locust antennal lobe (AL) projection neurons (PNs) occurs during odor responses. In a Hodgkin-Huxley-type model of the AL, interactions between excitatory PNs and inhibitory local neurons (LNs) created coherent network oscillations during odor stimulation.

A combined perceptual, physico-chemical, and imaging approach to 'odour-distances' suggests a categorizing function of the Drosophila antennal lobe. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 How do physico-chemical stimulus features, perception, and physiology relate? Given the multi-layered and parallel architecture of brains, the question specifically is where physiological activity patterns correspond to stimulus features and/or ...
