Recently, chemical analysis of solvent rinses of t h e external surfaces of phero m o n e glands from female Manduca sexta revealed a blend of 12 aldehydes, including t h e previously identified sex pheromone component, (β¬,Z)-10,12hexadecadienal (bombykal). Previous electrophysiological studies show
Each hemisegment of the Manduca sexta larva is supplied with a subepidermal plexus of approximately 350 multidendritic neurons. An initial set of neurons, the primary plexus neurons, arise at 35-45% of embryogenesis. These neurons comprise 12-16 uniquely identifiable neurons per hemisegment that hav
## Abstract In the olfactory (antennal) lobe of the moth __Manduca sexta__, olfactory receptor axons strongly influence the distribution and morphology of glial cells. In the present study, we asked whether the development of the electrophysiological properties of the glial cells is influenced by t
