Task-specific roles of local interneurons for inter- and intraglomerular signaling in the insect antennal lobe

Local interneurons (LNs) mediate complex interactions within the antennal lobe, the primary olfactory system of insects, and the functional analog of the vertebrate olfactory bulb. In the cockroach Periplaneta americana, as in other insects, several types of LNs with distinctive physiological and mo...
