In mammals, odor information detected by olfactory sensory neurons is converted to a
topographic map of activated glomeruli in the olfactory bulb. Mitral cells and tufted cells …

Noses are extremely sophisticated chemical detectors allowing animals to use scents to
interpret and navigate their environments. Odor detection starts with the activation of odorant …

In many mammalian species, the accessory olfactory system plays a central role in guiding
behavioral and physiological responses to social and reproductive interactions. Because of …

In mammals, chemoperception relies on a diverse set of neuronal sensors able to detect
chemicals present in the environment, and to adapt to various levels of stimulation. The …

In olfactory systems, convergence of sensory neurons onto glomeruli generates a map of
odorant receptor identity. How glomerular maps relate to sensory space remains unclear …

Division of labor (DOL) is a characteristic trait of insect societies, where tasks are generally
performed by specialized individuals. Inside workers focus on brood or nest care, while …

Olfactory systems have evolved the extraordinary capability to detect and discriminate
volatile odorous molecules (odorants) in the environment. Fundamentally, this process relies …

In many species, survival depends on olfaction, yet the mechanisms that underlie olfactory
sensitivity are not well understood. Here we examine how a conserved subset of olfactory …

Plant-produced volatiles play a pivotal role as mediators in complex interactions between
insects and plants. Despite the widespread recognition that these compounds serve as cues …

In nature, plant-insect interactions occur in complex settings involving multiple trophic levels,
often with multiple species at each level. 1 Herbivore attack of a host plant typically …
