Many insects possess the ability to detect fine fluctuations in the environmental CO2 concentration. In herbivorous species, plant-emitted CO2, in combination with other sensory cues, affect many behaviors including foraging and oviposition. In contrast to the comprehensive knowledge obtained on the insect olfactory pathway in recent years, we stil...
Lepidopteran species detect CO2 via a specialized organ located on the peripheral segment of the labial palps, the labial palp pit organ (LPO). Based on tracing of LPO sensory neurons targeting one distinct antennal-lobe glomerulus, Kent and her colleagues described the projections originating from the LPO in the sphinx moth as “an accessory olfact...
S-1 is a novel oral fluoropyrimidine derivative, widely used for treating gastric, pancreatic, lung, head, neck and breast carcinomas. It is designed to enhance the clinical utility of an oral fluoropyrimidine and is associated with low gastrointestinal toxicity. S-1 consists of three pharmacological agents (at a molar ratio of 1:0.4:1)-Tegafur (FT...

Different biological organisms have different sensory neuron detecting different chemical stimuli, for instance insects have labial pit organs to detect atmospheric CO2 while the snakes have Pit organs to detect the infrared detection ( temperature ). Do you have any information what might be the ecological and morphological significance of have sensory neurons in the pits?
Amira only support older version of confocal image like .lsm.
A dye applied to one neuron is passing through the synapse and is labeling the other neurons.
