A Novel Major Output Target for Pheromone-Sensitive Projection Neurons in Male Moths
Even though insects have comparably small brains, they achieve astoundingly complex behaviors. One example is flying moths tracking minute amounts of pheromones using olfactory circuits. The tracking distance can be up to 1 km, which makes it essential that male moths respond efficiently and reliabl...
