Olfactory coding: connecting odorant receptor expression and behavior in the Drosophila larva.
The discovery of odorant receptors has significantly changed our understanding of how animals identify thousands of odorants. A recent study has shed new light on the central issue of how odor information is translated into meaningful behavior.
