Insect olfactory systems provide unique opportunities for recording odorant-induced responses in the forms of electroantennograms (EAG) and single sensillum recordings (SSR), which are summed responses from all odorant receptor neurons (ORNs) located on the antenna and from those housed in individual sensilla, respectively. These approaches have been exploited for getting a better understanding of insect chemical communication. The identified stimuli can then be used as either attractants or repellents in management strategies for insect pests.
昆虫嗅觉系统为以触角电图（EAG）和单细胞记录（SSR）的形式记录气味诱导反应提供了独特的机会，这两种记录分别是位于触角上的所有气味受体神经元（ORN）以及单个感器中所含神经元的总和反应。这些方法已被用于更好地理解昆虫的化学通讯。然后，所确定的刺激物可在害虫管理策略中用作引诱剂或驱避剂。
