This review surveys the organization of the olfactory and gustatory systems in the imago and in the larva of Drosophila melanogaster , both at the sensory and the central level. Olfactory epithelia of the adult are located primarily on t...
1. Peripheral olfactory and gustatory responses of the channel catfishIctalurus punctatus to amino acids and derivatives have been studied using extracellular electrophysiological recording techniques. 2. Amino acids are highly effect...
Background The European spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus , and the North American mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae (Coleoptera: Curculion...
Male-female courtship interactions in Drosophila melanogaster are mediated in part by chemical cues. A comparison of the courtship behaviors of normal and...
Of all five senses, olfaction is the most complex molecular mechanism, as it comprises hundreds of receptor proteins enabling it to detect and discriminate...
For the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, chemosensory pathways regulate critical aspects of an individual's life history and development. To help understand how...
In chemosensory systems, a variety of lipophilic ligand-binding proteins have been found in saliva or nasal mucus. Lipophilic stimulants reach the receptor...
Squamate reptiles are known for using vomerolfaction, the sense associated with the vomeronasal organs, to detect prey, predators, and conspecifies. By comparison, olfaction has been relatively neglected, yet many squamates have highly d...
The detection of threshold concentrations and relative stimulatory effectiveness (RSE) for 19 amino acids were studied by olfactory bulbar electroencephalo...
