Olfactory control of insect behavior : neurobiological exploration of the moth's nervous system (original) (raw)

This lecture explores the neurobiological mechanisms behind olfactory control of insect behavior, focusing on the moth's nervous system. It outlines the importance of olfaction in guiding behaviors such as mating, feeding, and oviposition through olfactory signals like pheromones and kairomones. The research highlights the role of processing centers in the moth's brain that integrate diverse olfactory information, emphasizing the need for further exploration of how these systems influence insect behavior.
