Electroantennogram responses of the Triatoma dimidiata complex to volatiles produced by its exocrine glands
(Elsevier Science, 2018-09)
Members of the Triatoma dimidiata complex are vectors of the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiologic agent of Chagas disease. Morphological and genetic studies indicate that T. dimidiata complex has three ...
Changes related to gender, geographic population and habitat in the antennal phenotype of Triatoma patagonica Del Ponte (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)
(Elsevier Science, 2013-02)
Triatomines undergo morphological changes as an adaptive response to different habitats (wild, peridomestic, domestic, laboratory). The characterization of the antennal phenotype provides information on intraspecific ...
Plant odour stimuli reshape pheromonal representation in neurons of the antennal lobe macroglomerular complex of a male moth
(Company of Biologists, 2012-05)
Male moths are confronted with complex odour mixtures in a natural environment when flying towards a female-emitted sex pheromone source. Whereas synergistic effects of sex pheromones and plant odours have been observed ...
Innexin7 containing gap junctions in Drosophila Antennal Lobe Projection Neurons contribute to synchronous neuronal activity and olfactory responses
(2015)
In the mammalian olfactory bulb (OB), gap junctions synchronize mitral and tufted cell activity during processing of olfactory information. It
has been suggested that gap junctions are also present in the insect Antennal ...
The sensory machinery of the head louse pediculus humanus capitis: From the antennae to the brain
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2019-05)
Insect antennae are sophisticated sensory organs, usually covered with sensory structures responsible for the detection of relevant signals of different modalities coming from the environment. Despite the relevance of the ...
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 ...
Mating-induced transient inhibition of responses to sex pheromone in a male moth is not mediated by octopamine or serotonin
(Company Of Biologists, 2010-01)
In the male moth, Agrotis ipsilon, mating induces a transient inhibition of behavioural and central nervous responses to sex pheromone. Newly mated males are not attracted to sex pheromone, and the sensitivity of their ...
Brief predator sound exposure elicits behavioral and neuronal long-term sensitization in the olfactory system of an insect
(National Academy Of Sciences, 2011)
Modulation of sensitivity to sensory cues by experience is essential for animals to adapt to a changing environment. Sensitization and adaptation to signals of the same modality as a function of experience have been shown ...
Pheromone Modulates Plant Odor Responses in the Antennal Lobe of a Moth
(Oxford University Press, 2014-05)
In nature, male moths are exposed to a complex plant odorant environment when they fly upwind to a sex pheromone source in their search for mates. Plant odors have been shown to affect responses to pheromone at various ...
