The insect mushroom bodies (MBs) are multimodal signal processing centers and are essential for olfactory learning. Electrophysiological recordings from the MBs' principal component neurons, the Kenyon cells (KCs), showed a sparse representation of olfactory signals. It has been proposed that

The southern house mosquito, Culex quinquefasciatus, has one of the most acute and eclectic olfactory systems of all mosquito species hitherto studied. Here, we used Illumina sequencing to identify olfactory genes expressed predominantly in antenna, mosquito's main olfactory organ. Less

This paper reports the syntheses and characterization of ethylmorpholine substituted citronellal thiosemicarbazone copper(II) and nickel(II) metal complexes. The compounds were characterized through elemental analyses and spectroscopic (IR, UV-Vis, NMR, MS) methods. The X-ray analysis of the two complexes shows that
