TLDR
The understanding of the physiology and anatomy of the first few stages of the olfactory pathway promises a reliable diagnosis of genetic lesions and the stage is set for studies on the molecular biology of olfaction.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
A spatial map of olfactory receptor expression in the Drosophila antenna.
TL;DR: A novel family of seven transmembrane domain proteins, encoded by 100 to 200 genes, that is likely to represent the family of Drosophila odorant receptors are identified and may ultimately afford a system to understand the mechanistic link between odor recognition and behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Odorant-selective genes and neurons mediate olfaction in C. elegans
TL;DR: Through laser ablation, chemosensory neurons that detect volatile odorants are identified and it is shown that the nematode C. elegans might have senses that correspond to smell and taste, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
An olfactory sensory map in the fly brain
TL;DR: The "complete" repertoire of genes encoding the odorant receptors in Drosophila are isolated and employ these genes to provide a molecular description of the organization of the peripheral olfactory system.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel family of divergent seven-transmembrane proteins: candidate odorant receptors in Drosophila.
TL;DR: A novel search algorithm is developed, used to search the Drosophila genomic sequence database, and it is shown that expression is restricted to subsets of olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) for a number of these genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Organization of the Chemosensory System in Drosophila Melanogaster: A Review
TL;DR: This review surveys the organization of the olfactory and gustatory systems in the imago and in the larva of Drosophila melanogaster, both at the sensory and the central level.

Journal ArticleDOI
A cyclic nucleotide-gated conductance in olfactory receptor cilia
TL;DR: The data provide a mechanistic basis by which an odorant-stimulated increase in cyclic nucleotide concentration could lead to an increase in membrane conductance and therefore, to membrane depolarization and suggest considerable conservation of sensory transduction mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drosophila Mushroom Body Mutants are Deficient in Olfactory Learning
TL;DR: Two Drosophila mutants are described in which the connections between the input to and the output from the mushroom bodies is largely interrupted, and the defect seems not to impair learning of color discrimination tasks or operant learning involving visual cues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Odorant-sensitive adenylate cyclase may mediate olfactory reception
TL;DR: The results suggest a role for cyclic nucleotides in olfactory transduction13,20–22, and point to a molecular analogy between olfaction and visual15,16, hormone17,18 and neurotransmitter19 reception, and reveal new ways to identify and isolate Olfactory receptor proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
A few chemical words exchanged by Drosophila during courtship and mating.
TL;DR: Experimental evidence and speculation relative to chemical messages exchanged by Drosophila during courtship and mating are reviewed, and emphasis is put on female aphrodisiacs, as they clearly participate in sex and species recognition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vertebrate Olfactory Reception
TL;DR: Olfactory recognition is mediated by a large ensemble' of sensory cells, each conveying a fraction of the information that signifies the nature of the odorant and its concentration, which corresponds to the combined Stereo chemical/Functional-group theories of olfaction.
