Dopaminergic neurons write and update memories with cell-type-specific rules (2016, methodology): “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., 2014b; Hige et al., 2015).”
Mushroom body output neurons encode valence and guide memory-based action selection in Drosophila (2014, methodology): “To maintain a constant temperature, the LED board was placed on a heat sink and air (150 ml/min) was exchanged through holes at the center and four corners of the arena in a similar way as in the previously described olfactometer (Vet et al., 1983).”
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).”
The effects of non‐host plant essential oil volatiles on the behaviour of the pollen beetle Meligethes aeneus (2005, methodology): “Thus, fewer insects are needed to obtain the same statistical power (Vet et al., 1983).”
Induction of Plant Synomones by Oviposition of a Phytophagous Insect (2004, background): “The effect of odor of differentially treated elm twigs was studied in a four-arm airflow olfactometer (for details see Vet et al., 1983; Meiners and Hilker, 1997).”
Floral scents repel potentially nectar-thieving ants (2008, methodology): “The whole set-up was modified by Vet et al. (1983), and the design was again adjusted to meet the requirements for this study.”
