Abstract excerpt
1. Amplitude as well as time course of the electroantennogram (EAG) in Drosophila has been used for describing electrical changes produced in the antenna in response to odorous stimulation. 2. Maximal amplitude of response appears to be directly correlated to stimulus concentration but, after achieving a maximum value, is independent of stimulation duration. 3. Rise time and fall time constants have been...
