Introduction
Currently, I am studying the electrophysiology and morphology of individual neurons in the protocerebrum of the insect Helicoverpa armigera. For the most part, this includes using sharp intracellular recording and staining, combined with confocal microscopy.

The olfactory pathways of the insect brain have been studied comprehensively for more than 40 years, yet the last decade has included a particularly large accumulation of new information relating to this system’s structure. In moths, sharp intracellular recording and staining has been used to elucidate the anatomy and physiology of output neurons f...
The pheromone system of heliothine moths is an optimal model for studying principles underlying higher-order olfactory processing. In Helicoverpa armigera, three male-specific glomeruli receive input about three female-produced signals, the primary pheromone component, serving as an attractant, and two minor constituents, serving a dual function, i...

The relatively large primary olfactory centre of the insect brain, the antennal lobe (AL), contains several heterogeneous neuronal types. These include projection neurons (PNs), providing olfactory information to higher-order neuropils via parallel pathways, and local interneurons (LNs), which provide lateral processing within the AL. In addition,...

Female crickets (Gryllidae) often rely on the quality of male acoustic signals when choosing a potential mate. This quality can be determined by the frequency and temporal structure of the calling song, and both these characteristics...
