Functional Characteristics of the Antennal Lobe
1999Odour molecules are recognised by specific receptor proteins associated with the dendritic membranes of olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs; Buck and Axel 1991; Chap. 2). The olfactory signal is then transmitted through ORN axons to the primary processing centre in the CNS: the olfactory bulb (OB) in vertebrates, the olfactory lobe (OL) in crustaceans ...

Olfactory Bulb and Antennal Lobe
1990At first glance it may appear unrewarding to compare the functional morphology of two nerve centres so different in origin and construction as the vertebrate olfactory bulb and the antennal lobe of insects. Indeed, viewed as a venture in phylogenetically based comparative neuroanatomy, it does not even seem legitimate: one is a typical ganglion in the ...

Neuroactive Substances in the Antennal Lobe
1999Understanding the neural network of a particular brain area like the insect antennal lobe (AL) requires not only in-depth analysis of the anatomical and electrophysiological properties of its constituent neurons, but also information about the nature, distribution, and modes of action of the chemical substances involved in neuronal communication ...

Neuropeptidome of Tribolium castaneum antennal lobes and mushroom bodies
Journal of Comparative Neurology, 2013ABSTRACTNeuropeptides are a highly diverse group of signaling molecules that affect a broad range of biological processes in insects, including development, metabolism, behavior, and reproduction. In the central nervous system, neuropeptides are usually considered to act as neuromodulators and cotransmitters that modify the effect of “classical ...

Developmental study of afferented and deafferented bee antennal lobes
Journal of Neurobiology, 1991AbstractThe role of antennal sensory projections on the ontogeny of the bee antennal lobe was analyzed using both light and transmission electron microscopy. Normal and deafferented developing antennal lobes were examined. The results obtained show that (1) initiation of synaptogenesis in the antennal lobe is independent of the arrival of sensory ...

Three-dimensional reconstruction of the antennal lobe inDrosophila melanogaster
The Journal of Comparative Neurology, 1999We present the first three-dimensional map of the antennal lobe of Drosophila melanogaster, based on confocal microscopic analysis of glomeruli stained with the neuropil-specific monoclonal antibody nc82. The analysis of confocal stacks allowed us to identify glomeruli according to the criteria shape, size, position, and intensity of antibody labeling.

Odour quality processing by bee antennal lobe interneurones
Chemical Senses, 1993IntraceLlular responses to olfactory signals (three components and the combination of mixtures which they can provide) of 90 morphological identified local and output interneurones of the bee antennal lobe (the so-called Homo LIN, Hetero LIN, Pluri ON and Uni ON) were analysed and classified into eight main categories of response profiles.

Modeling olfactory neurons of the insect antennal lobe
1994Female insects release sex pheromones to attract conspecific males. We investigate the signal processing mechanisms at the first stage of insect olfaction, by modeling nerve cells that respond to sex pheromones in the moth Manduca sexta as our case study.
