Antennal-lobe tracts in the noctuid moth, Heliothis virescens: New anatomical findings
Ian, Elena; Berg, Aleksander; Lillevoll, Siri Corneliussen; Berg, Bente Gunnveig (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)As in other insects, three main tracts in the moth brain form parallel connections between the antennal lobe and the protocerebrum. These tracts, which consist of the antennal-lobe projection-neuron axons, target two main ... -
Coincidence of pheromone and plant odor leads to sensory plasticity in the heliothine olfactory system
Ian, Elena; Kirkerud, Nicholas N.; Galizia, C. Giovanni; Berg, Bente Gunnveig (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Male moths possess a highly specialized olfactory system comprised of two segregated sub-arrangements dedicated to processing information about plant odors and pheromones, respectively. Communication between these two ... -
Coincidence of pheromone and plant odor leads to sensory plasticity in the heliothine olfactory system
Ian, Elena; Kirkerud, Nicholas Hagen; Galizia, C. Giovanni; Berg, Bente Gunnveig (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Male moths possess a highly specialized olfactory system comprised of two segregated sub-arrangements dedicated to processing information about plant odors and pheromones, respectively. Communication between these two ... -
Genomics of Sponge-Associated Streptomyces spp. Closely Related to Streptomyces albus J1074: Insights into Marine Adaptation and Secondary Metabolite Biosynthesis Potential
Ian, Elena; Malko, Dmitry B.; Sekurova, Olga; Bredholt, Harald; Rückert, Christian; Borisova, Marina E.; Albersmeier, Andreas; Kalinowski, Jörn; Gelfand, Mikhail S.; Zotchev, Sergey (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)A total of 74 actinomycete isolates were cultivated from two marine sponges, Geodia barretti and Phakellia ventilabrum collected at the same spot at the bottom of the Trondheim fjord (Norway). Phylogenetic analyses of ... -
Individual neurons confined to distinct antennal-lobe tracts in the heliothine moth: Morphological characteristics and global projection patterns
Ian, Elena; Zhao, Xin Cheng; Lande, Andreas; Berg, Bente Gunnveig (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)To explore fundamental principles characterizing chemosensory information processing, we have identified antennal-lobe projection neurons in the heliothine moth, including several neuron types not previously described. ... -
A novel major output target for pheromone-sensitive projection neurons in male moths
Chu, Xi; Heinze, Stanley; Ian, Elena; Berg, Bente Gunnveig (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Even though insects have comparably small brains, they achieve astoundingly complex behaviors. One example is flying moths tracking minute amounts of pheromones using olfactory circuits. The tracking distance can be up to ... -
Parallel pathways of the moth olfactory system and their morphological and physiological characteristics
Ian, Elena (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2017:63, Doctoral thesis, 2017)Studying insect olfaction is interesting not only because it contributes to our general knowledge about fundamental chemosensory principles, but also because it is fascinating by itself. The opportunity of gaining insight ...
