Blocking sensory inputs to identified antennal glomeruli selectively modifies odorant perception in Drosophila.

Abstract excerpt

Neural coding of sensory input is a major unsolved issue in neuroscience. Current experimental methods rely on neural activity recording or visualization following sensory stimulation. Most of them, however, do not include behavioral correlates on the actual perception by the animal. We present a novel approach to address olfaction and coding in adult Drosophila. Sensory input was selectively blocked in two...
