CD36 is involved in oleic acid detection by the murine olfactory system.
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015 Olfactory signals influence food intake in a variety of species. To maximize the chances of finding a source of calories, an animal’s preference for fatty foods and triglycerides already becomes apparent during olfactory food search behavior.

Neuroethology of olfactory-guided behavior and its potential application in the control of harmful insects [PDF]
, 2016 Harmful insects include pests of crops and storage goods, and vectors of human and animal diseases. Throughout their history, humans have been fighting them using diverse methods.

Antagonism in olfactory receptor neurons and its implications for the perception of odor mixtures
bioRxiv, 2017 Natural environments feature mixtures of odorants of diverse quantities, qualities and complexities. Olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) are the first layer in the sensory pathway and transmit the olfactory signal to higher regions of the brain.

Influence of blood meal on the responsiveness of olfactory receptor neurons in antennal sensilla trichodea of the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti [PDF]
, 2010 In female Aedes aegypti L. mosquitoes, a blood meal induces physiological and behavioral changes. Previous studies have shown that olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) housed in grooved peg sensilla on the antennae of Ae.

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021 Previous studies suggested that the SARS-CoV-2 virus may gain access to the brain by using a route along the olfactory nerve. However, there is a general consensus that the obligatory virus entry receptor, angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), is not ...

The smell of blue light: a new approach towards understanding an olfactory neuronal network
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2011 Olfaction is one of the most important senses throughout the animal kingdom. It enables animals to discriminate between a wide variety of attractive and repulsive odorants and often plays a decisive role in species specific communication. In recent years

Event Timing in Associative Learning [PDF]
, 2012 Associative learning relies on event timing. Fruit flies for example, once trained with an odour that precedes electric shock, subsequently avoid this odour (punishment learning); if, on the other hand the odour follows the shock during training, it is ...

Odorant Responsiveness of Squid Olfactory Receptor Neurons [PDF]
The Anatomical Record, 2008 AbstractIn the olfactory organ of the squid, Lolliguncula brevis there are five morphological types of olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs). Previous work to characterize odor sensitivity of squid ORNs was performed on only two of the five types in dissociated primary cell cultures. Here, we sought to establish the odorant responsiveness of all five types.

Carbon dioxide and fruit odor transduction in Drosophila olfactory neurons. What controls their dynamic properties? [PDF]
, 2014 We measured frequency response functions between odorants and action potentials in two types of neurons in Drosophila antennal basiconic sensilla. CO2 was used to stimulate ab1C neurons, and the fruit odor ethyl butyrate was used to stimulate ab3A ...

Biophysical mechanisms underlying olfactory receptor neuron dynamics [PDF]
Nature Neuroscience, 2011 The responses of olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) to odors have complex dynamics. Using genetics and pharmacology, we found that these dynamics in Drosophila ORNs could be separated into sequential steps, corresponding to transduction and spike generation. Each of these steps contributed distinct dynamics.
