The article provides information on the research of neuroscientist Gilles Laurent of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California, using locust as a model in experimenting the neural mechanisms of insects use to learn odors. He chose the locust as a model of his study in which he first began studying insect olfaction because it was a good way of tracing circuit function and neural computation in the brain. Meanwhile, the article also discusses the detailed experimental design and the results of the study.
