A general odorant background affects the coding of pheromone stimulus intermittency in specialist olfactory receptor neurones.

A general odorant background affects the coding of pheromone stimulus intermittency in specialist olfactory receptor neurones.

In nature the aerial trace of pheromone used by male moths to find a female appears as a train of discontinuous pulses separated by gaps among a complex odorant background constituted of plant volatiles.
