Olfactory Coding in Antennal Neurons of the Malaria Mosquito, Anopheles gambiae.

abstract：:Previous studies have reported that the umami taste of monosodium l-glutamate (MSG) and salty-smelling odors (e.g., soy sauce, bacon, sardines) enhance the perception of saltiness. This study aimed to investigate the neural basis of the enhancement of saltiness in human participants using functional near-infrared spec...
