The Behavioral Significance of Nitric Oxide in a Primary Olfactory Network: Insights into Learning and Memory in the Antennal Lobe of Manduca Sexta

Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous, unconventional chemical messenger suggested to play a fundamental role in olfaction. This thesis focuses on the role of NO in a primary olfactory center, the antennal lobe (AL) of the moth, Manduca sexta (M. sexta), to understand how NO affects olfactory-guided behavi...
