Effect of d-limonene or 1-octen-3-ol odor on the PER in olfactory organ-ablated flies. Left panels show three different fly preparations having intact maxillary palps (MP) and antennae (AN) (top), intact maxillary palps but no antennae (middle), and intact antennae but no maxillary palps (bottom). a Sucrose concentration–PER curves in the absence (open circles) and presence (closed circles) of d-limonene odor. b Sucrose concentration–PER curves in the absence (open circles) and presence (closed circles) of 1-octen-3-ol odor. The number of flies exhibiting a PER is plotted against sucrose concentration; the curves of best fit were constructed using a curve-fitting program, Igor (HULINKS Ltd.). There was a significant difference between the PER thresholds in the two curves (Wilcoxon signed-rank test, p < 0.05; n = 100)
