TL;DR: Early larval HU application to P[GAL4] strains that label specific neuron types enabled us to identify the origins of the two major classes of interneurons in the olfactory system and suggested that differentiated RI are present at the larval stage already and may be retained through metamorphosis.

TL;DR: It is argued that the direct PN-to-lateral protocerebrum pathway is necessary and sufficient to process these experience-independent behaviors in fruit flies and suggests a role of volatile attractive female pheromones in Drosophila.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the AMC contains both olfactory and gustatory sensilla, and that the DO is the main o aroma organ in larvae, as consistent with strongest staining in the dorsal organ (DO), the presumed Olfactory organ of the AMC.

TL;DR: The Drosophila larva is proposed as an "elementary" olfactory model system because its basic design is similar to the adult one and its ORNs and projection neurons lack cellular redundancy and do not exhibit any convergent or divergent connectivity.

TL;DR: In this article, the connectivity of the larval olfactory circuit was analyzed by genetically labeling single neurons with FLP-out and MARCM techniques, and it was shown that each of the 21 odorant-receptor neurons (ORNs) is unique and projects to one of 21 morphologically identifiable antennal-lobe glomeruli.
