A striking commonality across insects and vertebrates is the recurring presence of parallel
olfactory subsystems, suggesting that such an organization has a highly adaptive value …

Comprehensive Overview of Advances in OlfactionThe common belief is that human smell
perception is much reduced compared with other mammals, so that whatever abilities are …

The Drosophila antennal lobe (AL) has become an excellent model for studying early
olfactory processing mechanisms. Local interneurons (LNs) connect a large number of …

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 …

Highly interconnected neural networks perform olfactory signal processing in the central
nervous system. In insects, the first synaptic processing of the olfactory input from the …

Most organisms rely on their olfactory system to detect and analyze olfactory cues in the
environment, cues that are subsequently utilized in the context of behavior. Odorants are …

The insect mushroom bodies (MBs) are multimodal signal processing centers and are
essential for olfactory learning. Electrophysiological recordings from the MBs' principal …

Satellite SAR interferometry (InSAR) is proven as effective method for monitoring of
deformations of both terrain and urban structures. By applying multi-temporal InSAR …

Gain control is a process that adjusts a system's sensitivity when input levels change. Neural
systems contain multiple mechanisms of gain control, but we do not understand why so …

Glomeruli are structural and functional units in the primary olfactory center in vertebrates and
insects. In the cockroach Periplaneta americana, axons of different types of sensory neurons …
