Odorant and pheromone receptors in insects [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2009 Since the emergence of the first living cells, survival has hinged on the ability to detect and localize chemicals in the environment. Modern animal species ranging from insects to mammals express large odorant receptor repertoires to detect the ...

Tuning Insect Odorant Receptors [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018 Among the insect olfactory receptors the odorant receptors (ORs) evolved in parallel to the onset of insect flight. A special property of this receptor type is the capability to adjust sensitivity of odor detection according to previous odor contacts ...

Axonal Odorant Receptors Mediate Axon Targeting
Cell Reports, 2019 Summary: In mammals, odorant receptors not only detect odors but also define the target in the olfactory bulb, where sensory neurons project to give rise to the sensory map.

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,

The narrowing olfactory landscape of insect odorant receptors
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2015 The molecular basis of odorant detection and its corollary, the task of the odorant receptor, are fundamental to understanding olfactory coding and sensory ecology.

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 ...

Selectivity of Odorant Receptors in Insects [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2012 Insect olfactory receptors (ORs) detect chemicals, shape neuronal physiology and regulate behavior. Although ORs have been categorized as generalists and specialists based on their ligand spectrum, both electrophysiological studies and recent ...

OlfactionBase: a repository to explore odors, odorants, olfactory receptors and odorant–receptor interactions [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2021 Abstract Olfaction is a multi-stage process that initiates with the odorants entering the nose and terminates with the brain recognizing the odor associated with the odorant. In a very intricate way, the process incorporates various components functioning together and in synchronization.
