Abstract

Insects have to navigate a complex and rich olfactory environment consisting of mixtures of odors at varying ratios. However, we understand little of how the olfactory system represents these complex blends. This review aims to highlight some of the recent results of studying this mixture code, in the Drosophila melanogaster olfactory system, as well as gives a short background to one of the most challenging questions in olfaction — how are mixtures encoded in the brain?

把事情搞混了！-果蝇如何处理气味混合物。

昆虫必须在由不同比例的气味混合物组成的复杂而丰富的嗅觉环境中穿行。然而，我们对嗅觉系统如何表现这些复杂的混合物知之甚少。这篇综述旨在强调在果蝇嗅觉系统中研究这种混合物编码的一些最新结果，并为嗅觉中最具挑战性的问题之一——混合物是如何在大脑中编码的——提供一个简短的背景？

期刊介绍： Current Opinion in Insect Science is a new systematic review journal that aims to provide specialists with a unique and educational platform to keep up–to–date with the expanding volume of information published in the field of Insect Science. As this is such a broad discipline, we have determined themed sections each of which is reviewed once a year. The following 11 areas are covered by Current Opinion in Insect Science. -Ecology -Insect genomics -Global Change Biology -Molecular Physiology (Including Immunity) -Pests and Resistance -Parasites, Parasitoids and Biological Control -Behavioural Ecology -Development and Regulation -Social Insects -Neuroscience -Vectors and Medical and Veterinary Entomology There is also a section that changes every year to reflect hot topics in the field. Section Editors, who are major authorities in their area, are appointed by the Editors of the journal. They divide their section into a number of topics, ensuring that the field is comprehensively covered and that all issues of current importance are emphasized. Section Editors commission articles from leading scientists on each topic that they have selected and the commissioned authors write short review articles in which they present recent developments in their subject, emphasizing the aspects that, in their opinion, are most important. In addition, they provide short annotations to the papers that they consider to be most interesting from all those published in their topic over the previous year.
