Pyrethroids differentially alter voltage-gated sodium channels from the honeybee central olfactory neurons.

The sensitivity of neurons from the honey bee olfactory system to pyrethroid insecticides was studied using the patch-clamp technique on central 'antennal lobe neurons' (ALNs) in cell culture. In these neurons, the voltage-dependent sodium currents are characterized by negative potential f...
