General description

Amyl acetate is an aliphatic ester that occurs naturally in banana fruit. It may be one of the odor volatiles produced by fungi such as Aspergillus, Penicillium and Fusarium species.

Application

Amyl acetate is a fruity odor compound that can be used as an attractant (component) in nanoemulsion formulation used to trap fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster).
Banana essence. Used as test odorant in studies of olfactory function and in studies of the psychosocial effects of odor.

Heteromeric insect odorant receptors (ORs) form ligand-activated nonselective cation channels in recombinant expression systems. We performed a pharmacological characterization of Drosophila melanogaster and Bombyx mori ORs expressed in the Xenopus laevis oocyte expression system and characterized them using the 2-electrode

Ca2+/calmodulin-mediated negative feedback is a prototypical regulatory mechanism for Ca2+-permeable ion channels. In olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs), such regulation on the cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channel is considered a major mechanism of OSN adaptation. To determine the role of Ca2+/calmodulin desensitization

In experimental practice, odors are commonly applied to only one nostril for recordings of olfactory event-related potentials (OERPs), but the lateralization aspect of the OERP response is unclear regarding both stimulated nostril and cortical topography. The purpose of the present

We showed recently that behavioural and striatal dopaminergic (DA) responses obtained in latent inhibition are crucially dependent on the parahippocampal region, the entorhinal cortex. In the present study, we investigated the influence exerted by the hippocampal ventral subicular region (SUB)
