Migratory locusts have a unique and unconventional architecture with more than 2000 spherical functional olfactory units, the glomeruli.
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology are interested in how insects perceive odors and process them in their brains.
They want to know how odor perception affects their behavior.
The representation of odor valence is not encoded in the antennal lobe, but in higher brain centers such as the mushroom body and the lateral horn.
The ring structure of the olfactory code is a unique anatomical feature of the migratory locust.
Future studies investigating the rules of odor coding in other insect species will show whether other locust species have developed a similar pattern.
