Resolution: standard / high Figure 1.
Frontal view of the face of a male Helicoverpa zea moth showing the two antennal lobes at the bases of the antennae. The preparation
has been histologically cleared so that the many antennal lobe glomeruli are visible
as spheroidal shapes. Asterisks denote 'ordinary' glomeruli that receive inputs from
antennal neurons responding to general environmental odorants such as plant volatiles.
The ordinary glomeruli reside in a large cluster in each antennal lobe (Ord). Larger
glomeruli that receive inputs from pheromone component-tuned neurons on the antenna
reside in their own cluster called the macroglomerular complex (MGC) and are labeled
with an 'm'. Ant, the remaining bases of the antennae and antennal nerves; eye, optic
lobe.
