Non-synaptic inhibition between grouped neurons in an olfactory circuit. [PDF]
Nature, 2012 Diverse sensory organs, including mammalian taste buds and insect chemosensory sensilla, show a marked compartmentalization of receptor cells; however, the functional impact of this organization remains unclear.

Ir76b is a Co-receptor for Amine Responses in Drosophila Olfactory Neurons
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021 Two large families of olfactory receptors, the Odorant Receptors (ORs) and Ionotropic Receptors (IRs), mediate responses to most odors in the insect olfactory system. Individual odorant binding “tuning” OrX receptors are expressed by olfactory neurons in

Neuromodulation of olfactory sensitivity in the peripheral olfactory organs of the American cockroach, Periplaneta americana. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Olfactory sensitivity exhibits daily fluctuations. Several studies have suggested that the olfactory system in insects is modulated by both biogenic amines and neuropeptides. However, molecular and neural mechanisms underlying olfactory modulation in the

Chemoreceptor co-expression in Drosophila melanogaster olfactory neurons
eLife, 2022 Drosophila melanogaster olfactory neurons have long been thought to express only one chemosensory receptor gene family. There are two main olfactory receptor gene families in Drosophila, the odorant receptors (ORs) and the ionotropic receptors (IRs). The

Transplant Antennae and Host Brain Interact to Shape Odor Perceptual Space in Male Moths. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Behavioral responses to odors rely first upon their accurate detection by peripheral sensory organs followed by subsequent processing within the brain's olfactory system and higher centers. These processes allow the animal to form a unified impression of

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 In moths, mate finding relies on female-emitted sex pheromones that the males have to decipher within a complex environmental odorant background. Previous studies have shown that interactions of both sex pheromones and plant volatiles can occur in the ...

Cell Reports, 2020 Summary: Olfactory neurons allow animals to discriminate nutritious food sources from potential pathogens. From a forward genetic screen, we uncovered a surprising requirement for the olfactory neuron gene olrn-1 in the regulation of intestinal ...

Olfactory Receptor Neuron Profiling using Sandalwood Odorants [PDF]
Chemical Senses, 2004 The mammalian olfactory system can discriminate between volatile molecules with subtle differences in their molecular structures. Efforts in synthetic chemistry have delivered a myriad of smelling compounds of different qualities as well as many molecules with very similar olfactive properties. One important class of molecules in the fragrance industry

An update on anatomy and function of the teleost olfactory system [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 About half of all extant vertebrates are teleost fishes. Although our knowledge about anatomy and function of their olfactory systems still lags behind that of mammals, recent advances in cellular and molecular biology have provided us with a wealth of ...

The source of spontaneous activity in the main olfactory bulb of the rat. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 In vivo, most neurons in the main olfactory bulb exhibit robust spontaneous activity. This paper tests the hypothesis that spontaneous activity in olfactory receptor neurons drives much of the spontaneous activity in mitral and tufted cells via ...
