Activity-dependent survival of odorant receptor neurons in ants

Bogdan Sieriebriennikov, Kayli R. Sieber, Olena Kolumba, Jakub Mlejnek, Shadi Jafari, Hua Yan

The paper shows that in ants, orco mutations cause ORN apoptosis, but some ORNs survive by expressing Ir genes, suggesting chemosensory receptors mediate activity-dependent survival.

Activity and stress during a critical period regulate olfactory sensory neuron differentiation

Shadi Jafari, Johan Henriksson, Hua Yan, Mattias Alenius

The paper shows that neuronal activity and stress during a critical period regulate olfactory receptor expression in Drosophila by modulating gene regulatory mechanisms.
