This study compares the structure and function of the olfactory system in newly hatched and adult locusts, finding that the system is structurally and functionally similar despite differences in size and experience.

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

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.

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.

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

The paper introduces PRED, a new vector similarity metric that combines pattern and magnitude comparisons, showing it is robust, invariant to scaling, and effective for class separability.

The paper predicts olfactory receptor responses to odors using sequence data and conspecific receptor responses, showing significant agreement with experiments.

The paper tests the hypothesis that oscillatory input creates cyclic integration windows in neurons using locust olfactory system recordings and a computational model.
