Olfactory information is processed in central structures of the insect brain.i.e.the antennal lobes.In order to understand the underlying mechanism of signal processing we used the Gal 4 driver system in Drosophila melanogaster and expressed two light inducible proteins (channel-rhodopsin (ChoR2) and Pac) in individual receptor neurons (ORNs) of the olfactory system in the larvae.Both proteins are activated by blue light (485nm).Using this technique we were able to stimulate single ORNs.

Auditory or visual stimulation has been widely used for brainwave entrainment, i.e.to modulate brain (EEG) signals into a specific target frequency band.In this work, we study whether similar phenomen

In the mammalian ear, sounds are converted into cochlear vibrations which propagate on the basilar membrane as (forward) waves, from base to apex.These vibrations, in turn, are transduced into electri
