| Research Abstract |
Information flow for pheromone source orientation behavior has been studied. First we have identified the several candidate brain regions that have anatomical connectivity with the known areas that process pheromone signal, such as the antennal lobe or lateral accessory lobe. We then investigated the pheromone responsiveness for the neurons in every candidate region and found the superior medial protocerebrum was in the pheromone processing pathway, connecting sensory and motor areas. In addition, we have established the procedure for physiological recordings.
