Insect Olfaction: A Model System for Neural Circuit Modeling

Insect olfactory system denotes the network of cells including the sensory neurons located on the antennae and the interneurons located in several areas of the brain such as the , the , and the lateral horn antennal lobe mushroom body that work together to enable the in an insect. Here we describe this circuit and consider why it makes a sense of smell good model system for of neural circuits. computational modeling
