Department Evolutionary Neuroethology, Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology, Jena, Germany
PLoS ONE 8:e58889. 2013..Our results indicate that Orco-mediated regulation of OR sensitivity provides tunable ionotropic receptors capable of detecting odors over a wider range of concentrations, providing broadened sensitivity over IRs themselves... 
Temporal response dynamics of Drosophila olfactory sensory neurons depends on receptor type and response polarityMerid N Getahun
Department of Evolutionary Neuroethology, Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology Jena, Germany
