Figure Lengend Snippet: A) Calcium imaging responses (peak %ΔF/F) of R24H08 (green) and R86G06 (cyan) v-PNs to a panel of odors. AA; acetoin acetate, ACE; acetophenone, ACV; apple cider vinegar, BEZ; benzaldehyde, FAR; farnesol, 1-HEX; 1-hexanol, 1-OCT; 1-octen-3-ol, OrP; orange peel (n=10). B) R24H08 v-PNs respond to farnesol, but not 1-octen-3-ol, while R86G06 v-PNs respond to 1-octen-3-ol, but not farnesol. C) Average responses of R86G06 v-PNs to 1-octen-3-ol or 1-hexanol before (gray traces) and after application of 5-HT (dark blue) or a 5-HT7 receptor agonist (AS-19; cyan). Arrowhead indicates time of odor application. D) 5-HT and AS-19 enhance odor-evoked responses of R86G06 v-PNs. 5-HT, n=10 (1-Oct), p=0.0057; n=7 (1-Hex), p=0.0053; AS-19, n=10 (1-Oct), p=0.0003; n=8 (1-Hex), p=0.0002; 3 repeated stimulations, significance tested using paired samples T-test. E) RNAi knockdown of the 5-HT7 receptor in R86G06 v-PNs results in a loss of 5-HT induced enhancement of 1-hexanol responses and causes AS-19 to suppress R86G06 v-PN responses. 5-HT, n=10 (1-Oct), p=0.0051; n=9 (1-Hex) n.s.; AS-19, n=11 (1-Oct), p=0.0041; n=12 (1-Hex) p=0.0323; 3 repeated stimulations, significance tested using paired sample T-test. All recordings were made from R86G06 v-PN axon terminals in the lateral horn. F) Average responses of R24H08 v-PNs to farnesol (Far) or benzaldehyde (Bez) before (gray traces) and after application of 5-HT (blue) or a 5-HT1A/1B receptor agonist (Ipsapirone; green). Arrowhead indicates time of odor application. G) 5-HT does not significantly affect odor-evoked responses of R24H08 v-PNs, while ipsapirone reduces responses. 5-HT, n= 7 (Far), n.s.; n=11 (Bez), n.s.; Ipsapirone, n=7 (Far), p=0.0016; n=11 (Bez), 3 repeated stimulations, significance tested using paired sample T-test. H) RNAi knockdown of the 5-HT1A receptor in R24H08 v-PNs results in a loss of the ipsapirone induced reduction of odor-evoked responses. 5-HT, n=8 (Far), n.s.; n=9 (Bez), n.s.; Ipsapirone, n=14 (Far), n.s.; n=13 (Bez), n.s.; 3 repeated stimulations, significance tested using paired sample T-test. All recordings were made from R24H08 v-PN processes in the AL.
