Recent developments in the functional anatomy and physiology of the fish olfactory system
reveal three parallel pathways from the sensory epithelium, via the olfactory bulb to the …

About half of all extant vertebrates are teleost fishes. Although our knowledge about
anatomy and function of their olfactory systems still lags behind that of mammals, recent …

The olfactory epithelium of fish contains two major types of olfactory sensory neurons
(OSNs) that are distinct morphologically (ciliated vs microvillous) and possibly functionally …

The paper reviews recent studies of the olfactory system in fishes. The anatomy and
morphology of the olfactory organ in fish with different systematics and modes of life are …

Highlighting the growing importance of the sticklebacks as a model species in emerging
fields such as molecular genetics, genomics, and environmental toxicology, Biology of the …

In both Drosophila and mice, olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) expressing a given odorant
receptor (OR) project axons to specific glomeruli in the antennal lobe or olfactory bulb (OB) …

Publisher Summary The study of fish hormonal pheromones is fascinating and relevant for
many reasons. An understanding of the cues is only to provide valuable insight into how …

Although it has long been known that fish commonly employ pheromones (chemical signals
that pass between members of the same species; Sorensen and Wyatt, 2000) to coordinate …

In 1938, von Frisch discovered the alarm reaction (“schreck reaktion”) in fishes. He found
that substances stored in the skin are released upon injury and detected by the olfactory …

In many fishes, the olfactory sense participates in such vital processes as feeding,
reproduction, orientation, and predator avoidance. In teleosts, these tasks are fulfilled by a …
