Deterrents and Their Effects on the Feeding Behavior and Sensory Physiology of Insects
Vonnie D.C. Shields
Abstract:The gustatory system of insects is a prominent model in neuroscience. This important sensory system allows insects to detect, encode, and process gustatory information. This important sensory modality allows insects to perceive their environment. All animals detect and react to chemicals in their environment. Using insects as model systems allows us to obtain fundamental information regarding the processing of sensory information in the brain of the animal. Stimuli, associated with taste and smell, are respons… Show more
