Electronic nose (enose, EN) and electronic tongue (etongue, ET) have been designed to
simulate human senses of smell and taste in the best possible way. The signals acquired …

Much progress has been made recently in understanding how olfactory coding works in
insect brains. Here, I propose a wiring diagram for the major steps from the first processing …

Nervous systems contain sensory neurons, local neurons, projection neurons, and motor
neurons. To understand how these building blocks form whole circuits, we must distil these …

To sense myriad environmental odors, animals have evolved multiple, large families of
divergent olfactory receptors. How and why distinct receptor repertoires and their associated …

Odors elicit complex patterns of activated olfactory sensory neurons. Knowing the complete
olfactome, ie the responses in all sensory neurons for all relevant odorants, is desirable to …

Olfactory glomeruli are morphologically conserved spherical compartments of the olfactory
system, distinguishable solely by their chemosensory repertoire, anatomical position, and …

Herbivory is a key innovation in insects, yet has only evolved in one-third of living orders.
The evolution of herbivory likely involves major behavioral changes mediated by remodeling …

Drosophila suzukii M atsumura, an endemic pest in southeast Asia, has invaded E urope
and the U. SA Unlike most of its closely related sibling species, the serrated ovipositor of D …

Most insect species rely on the detection of olfactory cues for critical behaviors for the
survival of the species, eg, finding food, suitable mates and appropriate egg-laying sites …

Many insect vectors of disease detect their hosts through olfactory cues, and thus it is of
great interest to understand better how odors are encoded. However, little is known about …
