▪ Abstract Olfaction begins with the transduction of the information carried by odor molecules
into electrical signals in sensory neurons. The activation of different subsets of sensory …

Systematic mapping studies involving 365 odorant chemicals have shown that glomerular
responses in the rat olfactory bulb are organized spatially in patterns that are related to the …

As we learn more about the neurobiology of olfaction, it is becoming increasingly clear that
olfactory systems of animals in disparate phyla possess many striking features in common …

The structure and postembryonic development of antennae and deutocerebrum in various
insect orders are reviewed. First, the number and/or size of system components, ie antennal …

Disgust is considered to be a fundamental affective state associated with triggering the
behavioral avoidance of infection and parasite/pathogen threat. In humans, and other …

The anatomical organization of the olfactory system of terrestrial snails and slugs is
described in this paper, primarily on the basis of experiments using the African snail …

The olfactory system of the snail is functionally capable and structurally complex. The
morphology of the olfactory epithelium and the glomeruli are similar to analogous structures …

Abstract [3 H] 2-deoxyglucose autoradiography has revealed foci in the antennal lobe of
Drosophila melanogaster that are active during olfactory stimulation. Labelling in the …

Oscillatory dynamics is a universal design feature of olfactory information-processing
systems. Recent results in honeybees and terrestrial slugs suggest that oscillations underlie …

Different animals have distinctive anatomical and physiological properties to their chemical
senses that enhance detection and discrimination of relevant chemical cues. Humans and …
