Stimulation of electro-olfactogram responses in the main olfactory epithelia by airflow depends on the type 3 adenylyl cyclase [PDF]
, 2012 Cilia of olfactory sensory neurons are the primary sensory organelles for olfaction. The detection of odorants by the main olfactory epithelium (MOE) depends on coupling of odorant receptors to the type 3 adenylyl cyclase (AC3) in olfactory cilia.

A novel octopamine receptor with preferential expression in Drosophila mushroom bodies [PDF]
, 1998 Octopamine is a neuromodulator that mediates diverse physiological processes in invertebrates. In some insects, such as honeybees and fruit flies, octopamine has been shown to be a major stimulator of adenylyl cyclase and to function in associative ...

Evolution of insect olfactory receptors
eLife, 2014 The olfactory sense detects a plethora of behaviorally relevant odor molecules; gene families involved in olfaction exhibit high diversity in different animal phyla. Insects detect volatile molecules using olfactory (OR) or ionotropic receptors (IR) and in some cases gustatory receptors (GRs).

Computational Biology of Olfactory Receptors [PDF]
Current Bioinformatics, 2009 Olfactory receptors, in addition to being involved in first step of the physiological processes that leads to olfaction, occupy an important place in mammalian genomes. ORs constitute super families in these genomes. Elucidating ol-factory receptor function at a molecular level can be aided by a computationally derived structure and an understanding of

Intensity Coding in Two-Dimensional Excitable Neural Networks
, 2004 In the light of recent experimental findings that gap junctions are essential for low level intensity detection in the sensory periphery, the Greenberg-Hastings cellular automaton is employed to model the response of a two-dimensional sensory network to ...

An Explicit Electron-Vibron Model for Olfactory Inelastic Electron Transfer Spectroscopy
, 2019 The vibrational theory of olfaction was posited to explain subtle effects in the sense of smell inexplicable by models in which molecular structure alone determines an odorant's smell.

The role of two anatomically separate olfactory bulbs in shark food odor tracking [PDF]
, 2017 Most sharks have well-developed olfactory systems and depend to a large degree on odor information to locate food, home and navigate, and possibly detect predators and mates.

The Molecular Basis of Olfaction
CHIMIA, 2001 The olfactory sense plays a dominant role in a variety of behaviors across many species ranging from invertebrates to higher mammals. Consequently, there is great interest in understanding how olfactory perception is initiated.
