Computational Model of the Insect Pheromone Transduction Cascade
Figure 6
Equivalent electrical circuit of the ORN within the sensillum trichodeum (cf. Figure 1).
Three main compartments are distinguished: ORN outer dendritic segment (circuit on the left with 5 conductances), ORN inner dendritic segment and soma (denoted “Soma”, circuit on the right with 2 conductances) and auxiliary cells (circuit on top with a single conductance). The experimentally recorded difference of potential (Ved) is between the sensillar lymph and the hemolymph.
