Abstract
In all animals with a well-developed olfactory system, the first stages of information processing in the brain occur within an array of specialized units of synaptic neuropil¡ªthe olfactory glomeruli. This basic plan of organization is highly conserved across widely divergent species, which suggests that glomeruli play a fundamental role in the neural processing of olfactory information in the brain (Ache 1991; Hildebrand1995).In insects, the glomeruli are situated within the paired antennal lobes (ALs), the first-order olfactory centers in the deutocerebrum (for reviews see Homberg et al. 1989; Masson and Mustaparta 1990; Boeckh and Tolbert 1993; Stocker 1994).
