The odor of a nontoxic tetrodotoxin analog, 5,6,11-trideoxytetrodotoxin, is detected by specific olfactory sensory neurons of the green spotted puffers.

T. Suzuki, R. Nakahigashi, M. Adachi, T. Nishikawa, H. Abe

The study identifies a specific group of olfactory sensory neurons in green spotted puffers that respond to the nontoxic TTX analog TDT, supporting its role as a chemosensory cue for conspecific attraction and prey detection.

Green spotted puffer can detect an almost nontoxic TTX analog odor using crypt olfactory sensory neurons

T. Suzuki, R. Nakahigashi, M. Adachi, T. Nishikawa, H. Abe

The paper shows that green spotted puffers are attracted to 5,6,11-trideoxyTTX, an almost nontoxic TTX analog, detected by crypt-type olfactory sensory neurons.

An almost nontoxic tetrodotoxin analog, 5,6,11-trideoxytetrodotoxin, as an odorant for the grass puffer

Y. Noguchi, T. Suzuki, K. Matsutani, R. Sakakibara, R. Nakahigashi, M. Adachi, T. Nishikawa, H. Abe

The paper investigates whether grass puffers detect tetrodotoxin (TTX) and finds that they respond to a less toxic TTX analog, 5,6,11-trideoxyTTX, suggesting it may function as an odorant for chemical communication.
