Mosaic activity patterns and their relation to perceptual similarity: open discussions on the molecular basis and circuitry of odor recognition
(Wiley, 2014-12)
Enormous advances have been made in the recent years in regard to the mechanisms and neural circuits by which odors are sensed and perceived. Part of this understanding has been gained from parallel studies in insects and ...
Genetic Architecture of Olfactory Behavior in Drosophila melanogaster: differences and similarities across development
(Springer, 2013-07)
In the holometabolous insect Drosophila melanogaster, genetic, physiological and anatomical aspects of olfaction are well known in the adult stage, while larval stages olfactory behavior has received some attention it has ...
Ultrastructural characterisation of the olfactory mucosa of the armadillo Dasypus hybridus (Dasypodidae, Xenarthra)
(Cambridge University Press, 2000-02)
The ultrastructure of the olfactory mucosa of the armadillo Dasypus hybridus was studied. A comparison with the olfactory mucosa of another armadillo (Chaetophractus villosus) was made. The olfactory mucosa of D. hybridus ...
Organisation and tyrosine hydroxylase and calretinin immunoreactivity in the main olfactory bulb of paca (cuniculus paca): a large caviomorph rodent
(Springer, 2015-04-01)
The majority of neuroanatomical and chemical studies of the olfactory bulb have been performed in small rodents, such as rats and mice. Thus, this study aimed to describe the organisation and the chemical neuroanatomy of ...
Morphology and physiology of the olfactory system of blood-feeding insects
(Elsevier, 2014-04)
Several blood-feeding (hematophagous) insects are vectors of a number of diseases including dengue, Chagas disease and leishmaniasis which persistently affect public health throughout Latin America. The vectors of those ...
Evolutionary Genomics of Genes Involved in Olfactory Behavior in the Drosophila melanogaster Species Group
(Bioinformatics Inst, 2012-01)
Previous comparative genomic studies of genes involved in olfactory behavior in Drosophila focused only on particular gene families such as odorant receptor and/or odorant binding proteins. However, olfactory behavior has ...
Calcium mediates the activation of the inhibitory current induced by odorants in toad olfactory receptor neurons
(1997)
In toad olfactory neurons, a putrid odorant mixture inducing inhibitory responses increases Ca2+-activated K+ conductance, developing a hyperpolarizing receptor potential. Removal of extracellular Ca2+ or exposure to ...
Scaffolding proteins in highly purified rat olfactory cilia membranes
(2008)
Odour-mediated signal transduction is a complex process that occurs in the cilia of olfactory sensory neurons. To gain insight in to the molecular organization of the odour transduction machinery, we developed a procedure ...
Enhanced assymetrical noradrenergic transmission in the olfactory bulb of deoxycorticosterone acetate-salt hypertensive rats
(Springer/Plenum Publishers, 2013-10)
The ablation of olfactory bulb induces critical changes in dopamine, and monoamine oxidase activity in the brain stem. Growing evidence supports the participation of this telencephalic region in the regulation blood pressure ...
Early olfactory environment influences social behaviour in adult octodon degus
(2015)
We evaluated the extent to which manipulation of early olfactory environment can influence social behaviours in the South American Hystricognath rodent Octodon degus. The early olfactory environment of newborn degus was ...
