Dynamical modeling of the moth pheromone-sensitive olfactory receptor neuron within its sensillar environment.

In insects, olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs), surrounded with auxiliary cells and protected by a cuticular wall, form small discrete sensory organs--the sensilla. The moth pheromone-sensitive sensillum is a well studied example of hair-like sensillum that is favorable to both experimental and model...
