| Özet |
| In this chapter, we provide a general overview over the structure and function of the peripheral and central olfactory systems of insects, with special emphasis on the olfactory system of mosquitoes. We give a short presentation of what currently is known about the functional genomics of odorant-binding proteins as well as odorant receptors. Emphasis is, however, put on the structure and functional characteristics of olfactory sensilla to bring the reader up to date of what has been accomplished within this field over the last couple of years. Furthermore, readers are given an in depth overview of how the primary olfactory centre, the antennal lobe, of insects is structured as well as how it deals with input olfactory information. Finally, we give a description of the structure and function of higher olfactory centres. |
