A conserved dedicated olfactory circuit for detecting harmful microbes in Drosophila. (2012, positive): “In the vinegar fly Drosophila melanogaster, the male-produced pheromone cis-vaccenyl acetate (cVA) activates a single class of olfactory sensory neurons (OSN), which provides input to a single glomerulus (Kurtovic et al., 2007; van der Goes van Naters and Carlson, 2007) and a sexually dimorphic and ”
Odor Discrimination in Drosophila: From Neural Population Codes to Behavior (2013, background): “Although dedicated channels undoubtedly exist for mediating stereotyped responses to mating pheromones (Kurtovic et al., 2007; van der Goes van Naters and Carlson, 2007), the stress odorant CO2 (Suh et al.”
Comprehensive Maps of Drosophila Higher Olfactory Centers: Spatially Segregated Fruit and Pheromone Representation (2007, positive): “Furthermore, new data show that Fru+ Or67d ORNs innervating the DA1 glomerulus detect a male sex pheromone that has a negative effect on other males and a positive effect on females (Kurtovic et al., 2007).”
Exposure to rivals and plastic responses to sperm competition in Drosophila melanogaster (2010, background): “In terms of the cues that males use to detect the presence of other males, olfaction seems likely to be important (Kurtovic et al. 2007; Kent et al. 2008; Krupp et al. 2008), though visual and auditory cues also need to be explored.”
Neuronal mechanisms underlying innate and learned olfactory processing in Drosophila. (2019, background): “For example, the male-specific pheromone 11-cis-vaccenyl 97 acetate (cVA) is detected by Or67d-expressing ORNs, which project to glomerulus DA1 98 [22,23].”
Moth pheromone receptors: gene sequences, function, and evolution (2015, background): “However, the T1 neurons that host the DmelOr67d gene and respond to the Drosophila pheromone cis-vaccenyl acetate (Ha and Smith, 2006) were later found to functionally express moth PR genes more eﬃciently (Kurtovic et al., 2007; Syed et al., 2010; Montagné et al., 2012).”
Homeostatic matching and nonlinear amplification at identified central synapses. (2008, positive): “This idea is consistent with the observation that some of the largest glomeruli are related to pheromone perception (Kurtovic et al., 2007; Schlief and Wilson, 2007; van der Goes van Naters and Carlson, 2007).”
