| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we aimed to understand neural mechanisms to process dynamically changing pheromone information in the antennal lobe of male silkmoths. We generated several transgenic silkmoth lines that are useful for investigating functional connectivity of neurons in the antennal lobe of silkmoths. Based on experimental data, we constructed single compartment and multi-compartment simulation models of the antennal lobe of male silkmoths. We demonstrated that these simulation models can reproduce experimentally observed phenomena such as modulation of pheromone responses of the antennal lobe projection neurons to successive pheromone stimuli or by mechanosensory input to antennae.
