Sentences with phrase «between odorant receptors»

Important advances have included the discovery of the first evidence that the odour response is governed by neurons, of the intracellular signalling pathways between odorant receptors and sensory neurons, and of specific neurons, receptors and neurotransmitters involved in behaviour adaption following experience.

C. elegans has the ability to distinguish between hundreds of different odors due to a range of molecules — odorant receptors — on the surface of a cluster of neurons at the tip of its head.

By genetic manipulation, Bargmann and her team swapped the receptors for two different odorants between two neurons, and produced opposite effects to those that normally occur — a receptor for an attractive odor, now on a neuron that usually responded to noxious odors, caused worms to move away from the attractive odor source.

We developed new methodologies and procedures that allowed us to investigate the specificity of odour recognition between odorant binding proteins and receptors in Anopheles gambiae mosquito.
