Molecular vibration-sensing component in Drosophila melanogaster olfaction.
A common explanation of molecular recognition by the olfactory system posits that receptors recognize the structure or shape of the odorant molecule. We performed a rigorous test of shape recognition by replacing hydrogen with deuterium in odorants and asking whether Drosophila melanogaster can distinguish these identically shaped isotopes. We report that flies not only differentiate between is...
متن کاملAgainst Vibration Theory of Olfaction BSE656A - Neurobiology
Olfaction is the sense of smell. It is the phenemenon of receptors detecting certain properties about the molecules that are known as odorants.The perception of an odour is the result of an extraordinary complex cascade of events. The very first steps of this perception involves the interaction of chemicals with our olfactory neurons[7]. Odour is a property that depends on several highly variab...
متن کاملThe molecular logic of olfaction in Drosophila.
Drosophila fruit flies display robust olfactory-driven behaviors with an olfactory system far simpler than that of vertebrates. Endowed with 1300 olfactory receptor neurons, these insects are able to recognize and discriminate between a large number of distinct odorants. Candidate odorant receptor molecules were identified by complimentary approaches of differential cloning and genome analysis....
متن کاملLaser Vibration Sensing
• Laser vibration sensing has traditionally relied on limiters and &equencymodulation (FM) discriminators to process frequency-modulated laser radar returns. The performance of the traditional FM-discriminator approach can be limited by laser signature characteristics; both the temporal coherence of the laser and t~'get speckle can degrade the performance of an FM-discriminatorbased laser vibra...
متن کاملMolecular Epidemiology of Human Papillomavirus in Pterygium
Abstract Background and Objective: Ophthalmic pterygium is a potentially vision-threatening lesion of unknown etiology that often extends on the corneal surface and has a worldwide distribution. Despite various studies, the pathogenesis of pterygium remains unclear and the involvement of human papillomavirus is controversial. We aimed to investigate the involvement of papillomavirus in pte...
