Separate but interactive parallel olfactory processing streams governed by different types of GABAergic feedback neurons in the mushroom body of a basal insect

Press release (in Japanese)

 

Abstract
The basic organization of the olfactory system has been the subject of extensive studies in vertebrates and invertebrates. In many animals, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-ergic neurons inhibit spike activities of higher-order olfactory neurons and help sparsening of their odor representations. In the cockroach, two different types of GABA-immunoreactive interneurons (calycal giants, CGs) mainly project to…..
