Shedding Light on Inter-Individual Variability of Olfactory Circuits in Drosophila

Autor: Karen Rihani, Silke Sachse

Publikováno v: Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, Vol 16 (2022)

Inter-individual differences in behavioral responses, anatomy or functional properties of neuronal populations of animals having the same genotype were for a long time disregarded. The majority of behavioral studies were conducted at a group level, a

Background The insect cuticle covers the whole body and all appendages and has bi-directionnal selective permeability: it protects against environmental stress and pathogen infection and also helps to reduce water loss. The adult cuticle is often ass

International audience; Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are small soluble proteins that are thought to transport hydrophobic odorants across the aqueous sensillar lymph to olfactory receptors. A recent study revealed that OBP28a, one of the most abun

International audience; The survival of insects depends on their ability to detect molecules present in their environment. Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) form a family of proteins involved in chemoreception. While OBPs were initially found in olfact
