Behaviors resulting from the activation of single olfactory receptor neuron class depends on multiple second-order neuron types

Samuel P. Wechsler, Vikas Bhandawat

This study shows that aversive behavior from Or7a-ORN activation depends on multiple second-order neuron types, specifically DL5PNs, which modulate the frequency of returning to the stimulated area.

Sensorimotor transformation underlying odor-modulated locomotion in walking Drosophila

Liangyu Tao, Samuel P. Wechsler, Vikas Bhandawat

This study investigates how Drosophila translates olfactory receptor neuron activation into locomotion changes by optogenetically activating different ORN combinations and measuring locomotion responses.
