Advantage of the Highly Restricted Odorant Receptor Expression Pattern in Chemosensory Neurons of Drosophila. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 A fundamental molecular feature of olfactory systems is that individual neurons express only one receptor from a large odorant receptor gene family. While numerous theories have been proposed, the functional significance and evolutionary advantage of ...

Role of Axonal Odorant Receptors in Olfactory Topography [PDF]
Neuroscience Insights, 2020 A unique feature in the organization of the olfactory system is the dual role of the odorant receptors: they detect odors in the nasal epithelium and they play an instructive role in the convergence of olfactory sensory neuron axons in specific loci, ie,

Comparative transcriptomics and phylostratigraphy of Argentine ant odorant receptors. [PDF]
PLoS ONENestmate recognition in ants is regulated through the detection of cuticular hydrocarbons by odorant receptors (ORs) in the antennae. These ORs are crucial for maintaining colony cohesion that allows invasive ant species to dominate colonized ...

Research Progress of Insect Odorant Receptors
Guangdong nongye kexue, 2022 For insects, olfaction is an important signal input source for their behavioral perception. There are many kinds of proteins involved in the process of odor recognition, and they play a leading role in regulating feeding, swarming, mating, oviposition ...

Identification of male- and female-specific olfaction genes in antennae of the oriental fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis) [PDF]
, 2016 The oriental fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis) is a species of tephritid fruit fly, endemic to Southeast Asia but also introduced to many regions of the US, and it is one of the major pest species with a broad host range of cultivated and wild fruits ...

The whole body transcriptome of Coleophora obducta reveals important olfactory proteins [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Background The tiny casebearer moth Coleophora obducta, an important defoliator of Larix spp., is a major threat to ecological security in north China. Studies have shown that C. obducta is strongly specific to host plants; it is unable complete its life

Involvement of the olfactory system in the induction of anti-fatigue effects by odorants. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Some components of the neural circuits underlying innate odor-evoked responses have recently been elucidated. Odor information detected by the olfactory receptors is transmitted from the olfactory bulb to the cortical amygdala, where physiological and ...

Could humans recognize odor by phonon assisted tunneling? [PDF]
, 2006 Our sense of smell relies on sensitive, selective atomic-scale processes that are initiated when a scent molecule meets specific receptors in the nose. However, the physical mechanisms of detection are not clear.
