Characterization of the accessory olfactory pathway in the noctuid moth – from the labial pit organ to protocerebral centers
KC, Pramod (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2022:32, Doctoral thesis, 2022)Insects detect external fluctuations in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) for a variety of different reasons. Herbivorous species, like lepidopterans, can sense small variations in external CO2 for the purpose of finding a ... -
Mapping of second order olfactory neurons and ventral-cord neurons; double-fluorescence labeling performed from the noctuid moth, Heliothis virescens
KC, Pramod (Master thesis, 2014)Detection of chemical stimuli from the external environment is performed by all living organisms. Of all senses, the chemical sense is the evolutionary oldest. Also, the neural system devoted to process chemosensory ... -
Neuronal architecture of the second-order CO2 pathway in the brain of a noctuid moth
Chu, Xi; KC, Pramod; Ian, Elena; Kvello, Pål; Liu, Yand; Wang, Guirong; Berg, Bente Gunnveig (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Many insects possess the ability to detect fine fluctuations in the environmental CO2 concentration. In herbivorous species, plant-emitted CO2, in combination with other sensory cues, affect many behaviors including foraging ... -
Revisiting the Labial Pit Organ Pathway in the Noctuid Moth, Helicoverpa armigera
KC, Pramod; Chu, Xi; Kvello, Pål; Zhao, Xin-Cheng; Wang, Gui-Rong; Berg, Bente Gunnveig (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Lepidopteran species detect CO2 via a specialized organ located on the peripheral segment of the labial palps, the labial palp pit organ (LPO). Based on tracing of LPO sensory neurons targeting one distinct antennal-lobe ...
