...Tricia L. Meredith; John Caprio; Stephen M. Kajiura SUMMARY Odor detection in vertebrates occurs when odorants enter the nose and bind to molecular olfactory receptors on the cilia or microvilli of olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs). Several vertebrate groups possess multiple, morphologically...

...Meena Sriti Murmu; Jacques Stinnakre; Jean-René Martin SUMMARY In both vertebrates and invertebrates, olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) respond to several odors. They also adapt to stimulus variations, and this is considered to be a simple form of non-associative learning and neuronal plasticity...

... in beetle-attacked spruce trees. One of them, 1,8-cineole (Ci), strongly inhibited the attraction to pheromone in the field. Single-sensillum recordings (SSRs) previously showed olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) on I. typographus antennae selectively responding to Ci. All Ci neurons were found within...

..., intracellular recording and immunocytochemistry were used to establish the structure and function of male olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) and AL projection neurons (PNs). Physiologically characterized neurons were reconstructed using confocal microscopy of α-synapsin stained ALs. The ALs of males and females...

...Alex Vielma; Alvaro Ardiles; Luz Delgado; Oliver Schmachtenberg SUMMARY Crypt olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) are a third type of chemosensory neuron along with ciliated and microvillous ORNs in the olfactory epithelium of fishes, but their functional role is still unknown. To investigate...
