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

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

Single-cell transcriptomes of developing and adult olfactory receptor neurons in Drosophila
bioRxiv, 2020 Recognition of environmental cues is essential for the survival of all organisms. Precise transcriptional changes occur to enable the generation and function of the neural circuits underlying sensory perception.

Unitary response of mouse olfactory receptor neurons [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2010 The sense of smell begins with odorant molecules binding to membrane receptors on the cilia of olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs), thereby activating a G protein, G olf , and the downstream effector enzyme, an adenylyl cyclase (ACIII).

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 ...

Olfactory deficits in an alpha-synuclein fly model of Parkinson's disease. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most common motor neurodegenerative disorder. Olfactory dysfunction is a prevalent feature of PD. It often precedes motor symptoms by several years and is used in assisting PD diagnosis. However, the cellular and molecular

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
