Cracking the encoding of human scent in the mosquito brain
More about Open Access at the CrickAbstract
In a recent study, Zhao et al. decipher how the olfactory system encodes human versus animal odors in the mosquito Aedes aegypti. By combining genome engineering, invivo calcium imaging, advanced chemistry, and behavioral analysis, the authors provide compelling evidence that the discriminatory coding of host odors is surprisingly simple - and bridges labeled line with combinatorial coding.
