Temporal response dynamics of Drosophila olfactory sensory neurons depends on receptor type and response polarity

Insect olfactory sensory neurons (OSN) express a diverse array of receptors from different protein families i.e. ionotropic receptors (IR), gustatory receptors (GR) and odorant receptors (OR). It is well known that insects are exposed to a plethora of odor molecules that vary widely in both space an...
