Learned odor discrimination in Drosophila without combinatorial odor maps in the antennal lobe.

A unifying feature of mammalian and insect olfactory systems is that olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) expressing the same unique odorant-receptor gene converge onto the same glomeruli in the brain [1-7].
