This research focuses on the neural circuits involved in olfactory processing in insects, particularly the role of the lateral horn and mushroom body. It aims to map these circuits and understand how they contribute to olfactory perception and behavior.
In insects the axons of primary olfactory receptor neurons terminate in specific glomeruli in the antennal lobe.
Second order neurons relay this information to two higher olfactory centres, the mushroom body and the lateral horn, the special focus of this proposal.
Functional inactivation and ablation of the mushroom body suggest that it is specific to olfactory learning, while the lateral horn is sufficient for more basic olfactory responses, including those which can be characterised as innate…
