Combinatorial encoding of odors in the mosquito antennal lobe

The paper identifies sub-classes of antennal lobe neurons in mosquitoes and shows how odorants are encoded by population activity in projection neurons.

Representations of carbon dioxide in the mosquito antennal lobe

The paper investigates how CO2 is represented in the antennal lobe of mosquitoes and shows that non-homogeneous CO2 plumes and their synergy with lactic acid are encoded in projection neuron responses.

Plasticity and interactions in the odor responses of maxillary palps neurons in Aedes aegypti

The paper identifies odorants activating two neurons in Aedes aegypti maxillary palps and shows short-term plasticity and inhibitory interactions among neurons within sensilla, affecting downstream projection neurons.

Mosquito Olfactory Response Ensemble: a curated database of behavioral and electrophysiological responses enables pattern discovery

The paper curates and standardizes olfactory response data from 12 mosquito species and Drosophila melanogaster to enable pattern discovery across studies.
