Conflicting adaptations in an inhibitory feedback circuit
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend We studied activity‐dependent adaptation in the fruit fly Drosophila’s memory centre, the mushroom body. Here, excitatory Kenyon cells (KCs) receive feedback inhibition from the anterior paired lateral (APL) neuron. When KCs are artificially overactivated for 24 h, both KCs and APL reduce their sensitivity to excitation (‘↓ Exc’,

Scientific Reports, 2017 Antennal and abdominal transcriptomes of males and females of the coconut hispine beetle Brontispa longissima were sequenced to identify and compare the expression patterns of genes involved in odorant reception and detection.

Functional evolution of mammalian odorant receptors.
PLoS Genetics, 2012 The mammalian odorant receptor (OR) repertoire is an attractive model to study evolution, because ORs have been subjected to rapid evolution between species, presumably caused by changes of the olfactory system to adapt to the environment.

Disparity of turbinal bones in placental mammals
The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 749-777, April 2026.Abstract Turbinals are key bony elements of the mammalian nasal cavity, involved in heat and moisture conservation as well as olfaction. While turbinals are well known in some groups, their diversity is poorly understood at the scale of placental mammals, which span 21 orders.

Testing odorant-receptor interaction theories in humans through discrimination of isotopomers
Journal of Biological Research, 2017 Odour reception takes place on the olfactory receptor neuron membrane, where molecular receptors interact with volatile odorant molecules. This interaction is classically thought to rely on chemical and structural features of the odorant, e.g.

Molecular bases of insect odorant receptor function: specificity and evolution
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 1036-1049, April 2026.ABSTRACT Insect odorant receptors (ORs) are a class of chemoreceptors that insects use to detect volatile cues in their environment. In recent years, major advances in the field of structural biology have made it possible to obtain the first structures of insect ORs.

Beyond Modeling: All-Atom Olfactory Receptor Model Simulations
Frontiers in Genetics, 2012 Olfactory receptors (ORs) are a type of GTP-binding protein-coupled receptor (GPCR). These receptors are responsible for mediating the sense of smell through their interaction with odor ligands. OR-odorant interactions marks the first step in the process

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.A post‐freeze‐drying heat treatment at 150°C optimizes shrimp flavor by boosting umami compounds and generating roasted aromas via the Maillard reaction. This strategy successfully bridges the texture‐flavor trade‐off, enabling premium ready‐to‐eat shrimp products.

Molecular profiling of activated olfactory neurons identifies odorant receptors for odors in vivo
Nature Neuroscience, 2015 The mammalian olfactory system uses a large family of odorant receptors (ORs) to detect and discriminate amongst a myriad of volatile odor molecules. Understanding odor coding requires comprehensive mapping between ORs and corresponding odors.
