Quantifying Mosquito Attraction Using a Uniport Olfactometer
Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, 2023 Female mosquitoes respond to the world around them by using chemosensory organs, such as their antennae, to detect volatile compounds emitted from a vertebrate host. These chemosensory systems facilitate the interpretation of external stimuli from the periphery by connecting to the central nervous system and eliciting behaviors necessary for survival ...

A Novel Olfactometer for Efficient and Flexible Odorant Delivery [PDF]
Chemical Senses, 2018 Abstract Understanding how sensory space maps to neural activity in the olfactory system requires efficiently and flexibly delivering numerous odorants within single experimental preparations. Such delivery is difficult with current olfactometer designs, which typically include limited numbers of stimulus channels and are subject to ...

Determination of Rice Accession Status Using Infochemical and Visual Cues Emitted to Sustainably Control Diopsis apicalis Dalman [PDF]
InsectsThis study assessed the host plant selection behavior of female stalk-eyed flies (SEFs) or Diopsis apicalis, where a Y-tube olfactometer was used to compare SEF attraction to the odor of leaves from four rice varieties (ITA306, WAB56-104, CG14, and RAM55)

Relationship between the Korean Version of the Sniffin' Stick Test and the T&T Olfactometer in the Korean Population [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology, 2011 ObjectivesThe Korean version of the Sniffin' stick (KVSS) test is widely used in Korea to evaluate olfactory function. However, its validity and reliability have not been studied well.

Scents and sensibility: Best practice in insect olfactometer bioassays
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 2023 Olfactometers have been used for more than 100 years and are integral to experimental chemical ecology. Studies utilising olfactometer bioassays form the foundation for understanding the behavioural responses of invertebrates to chemical stimuli under ...
