We are interested in ontogeny, plasticity and
phylogeny of the olfactory system of insects. Our main focus lies on
the antennal lobe, the first integration station for odor information
in the brain of the sphinx moth Manduca sexta, the red flour
beetle Tribolium castaneum, the honeybee Apis
mellifera, and the yellow fever mosquito Aedes
aegypti. These model systems are used to examine the involvement of nitric oxide, neuropeptides, biogenic amines, electrical activity, hormonal coordination of the various developmental events, and the influence of pheromone components as well as of general odors on antennal lobe development and plasticity. |
