Description:

Some aspects of olfactory sensitivity in the pulmonate Helix pomatia L. were studied by means of neurophysiological and behavioral methods. Single fiber recordings were carried out in the olfactory nerve of the posterior tentacles. Olfactory stimulations with different odors were performed by means of a continuous air stream. The order of neuronal sensitivity to different odors was as follows: ethanol³ ethyl acetate > pentanol > hexanol > octanol > diethyl malonate > vanillin. Furthermore, the results revealed a relative specificity for some substances. A comparison between neurophysiological and behavioral data shows that those substances, which cause the highest increases in impulse frequency, also evoke a behavioral avoidance reaction., M.
