Modulation and Ligand Selectivity of Mammalian Odorant Receptors
… the olfactory system.</p><p>Understanding odor coding requires comprehensive mapping between odorant receptors and corresponding odorants. In chapter 3, I present a high-throughput in vivo method to identify repertoires of odorant receptors activated by odorants, using phosphorylated ribosome …

Octopaminergic Regulation of Olfactory Discrimination in the Drosophila Larval Mushroom Body Calyx
… cells (KCs), integrate these inputs through a combinatorial coding mechanism that allows discrimination among them. The calyx is innervated by extrinsic neurons that regulate its activity; these include two octopaminergic (OA) SEZ Ventral Unpaired Median 1 (sVUM1) neurons that are presynaptic …

Establishing Neuronal Diversity: Regulation of olfactory receptor neuron specification and axon guidance in Drosophila
… The members of this family are expressed in a combinatorial code in ORNs at times that correlate to glomerular formation. Computational analysis of DIP/Dpr expression patterns groups ORN classes into clusters that mimics their relative glomerular positioning in the antennal lobe. Class-specific …
