The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Dopaminergic neurons write and update memories with cell-type-specific rules (2016, methodology): “Optogenetic olfactory arena The olfactory arena for optogenetics experiments was designed based on the four-field olfactometer (Pettersson, 1970; Vet et al., 1983) and was briefly described in previous reports (Aso et al.”
The effects of non‐host plant essential oil volatiles on the behaviour of the pollen beetle Meligethes aeneus (2005, methodology): “Based on the results of this preliminary testing, the most promising non-host plant essential oil was chosen for further investigation with a four-arm olfactometer, a modification of a design by Pettersson (1970).”
Floral scents repel potentially nectar-thieving ants (2008, methodology): “The shape and function of the four-armed arena was developed by Pettersson (1970), who studied the sex pheromones of aphids.”
A six‐arm olfactometer permitting simultaneous observation of insect attraction and odour trapping (2004, methodology): “Pettersson (1970) developed the four-arm olfactometer, which has been modified and described in more detail by Vet et al. (1983).”
