The electrical circuitry of an olfactory sensillum in Antheraea polyphemus [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 1985 The aim of this study was to obtain a better insight into the distribution of active and passive electrical properties of the membranes of al olfactory sensillum. Such a sensillum is composed of three accessory cells which envelope the somata of two receptor neurons which have long (300 micron) dendrites that are incorporated in cuticular protuberances

Expression of Drosophila melanogaster V-ATPases in Olfactory Sensillum Support Cells
InsectsV-ATPases are ubiquitous and evolutionarily conserved rotatory proton pumps, which are crucial for maintaining various biological functions. Previous investigations have shown that a V-ATPase is present in the support cells of moth trichoid sensilla and ...

Morphology and ultrastructure of external sense organs of Drosophila larvae [PDF]
eLifeSensory perception is the ability through which an organism is able to process sensory stimuli from the environment. This stimulus is transmitted from the peripheral sensory organs to the central nervous system, where it is interpreted.

Why the Long “Horns”? Fine‐Scale Morphology Suggests Tactile Demands Contributed to the Exaggeration of Male Longhorned Beetle Antennae (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionInsect antennae are covered in hairlike sensilla that detect diverse environmental cues. Selection on these functions has produced a bewildering variety of antennal forms, including many examples of sexual dimorphism (SD).

Behavioral insensitivity to DEET in Aedes aegypti is a genetically determined trait residing in changes in sensillum function. [PDF]
, 2010 N,N-Diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET) is one of the most effective and commonly used mosquito repellents. However, during laboratory trials a small proportion of mosquitoes are still attracted by human odors despite the presence of DEET.
