    English, Scientific journal, The smoky brown cockroach, Periplaneta fuliginosa, is a peridomestic pest inhabiting broad regions of the world from temperate to subtropical zones. In common with other related species such as the American cockroach, Periplaneta americana, female-emitted sex pheromone components, named periplanones, are known to be key volatiles that elicit long-range attraction and courtship rituals in males. How periplanones are processed in the nervous system has been entirely unexplored in P. fuliginosa. By using pheromone compounds, periplanones A, B, C, and D, as stimulants to the antenna, we identified four distinct types of interneurons (projection neurons) that relay pheromonal signals from a single olfactory glomerulus of the first-order olfactory center (antennal lobe) to higher-order centers in the ipsilateral hemibrain. All glomeruli innervated by pheromone-responsive projection neurons clustered near the antennal nerve entrance of the antennal lobe. The projection neuron with dendrites in the largest glomerulus was tuned specifically to periplanone-D, and adding other components to periplanone-D counteracted the excitation elicited by periplanone-D alone. Likewise, the projection neuron with dendrites in the second largest glomerulus and that with dendrites in a medium-sized glomerulus were tuned to periplanone-A and periplanone-B, respectively. Our results are, therefore, consistent with behavioral findings that periplanone-D alone acts as a primary sex attractant and that other components act as potential behavioral antagonists. Moreover, a comparison of the glomeruli in P. fuliginosa and P. americana suggested that there are differences in the sizes of homologous glomeruli, as well as in the ligands they process.

    Scientific journal, Abstract

    Many animals use multi-component sex pheromones for mating, but the specific function and neural processing of each pheromone component remain unclear. The cockroach Periplaneta americana is a model for studying sex pheromone communication, and an adult female emits major and minor sex pheromone components, periplanone-B and -A (PB and PA), respectively. Attraction and courtship behaviors (wing-raising and abdominal extension) are strongly expressed when adult males are exposed to PB but weakly expressed when they are exposed to PA. When major PB is presented together with minor PA, behaviors elicited by PB were impaired, indicating that PA can both promote and suppress courtship behaviors depending on the pheromonal context. In this study, we identified the receptor genes for PA and PB and investigated the effects of knocking down each receptor gene on the activities of PA- and PB-responsive sensory neurons (PA- and PB-SNs), and their postsynaptic interneurons, and as well as effects on courtship behaviors in males. We found that PB strongly and PA weakly activate PB-SNs and their postsynaptic neurons, and activation of the PB-processing pathway is critical for the expression of courtship behaviors. PA also activates PA-SNs and the PA-processing pathway. When PA and PB are simultaneously presented, the PB-processing pathway undergoes inhibitory control by the PA-processing pathway, which weakens the expression of courtship behaviors. Our data indicates that physiological interactions between the PA- and PB-processing pathways positively and negatively mediate the attraction and courtship behaviors elicited by sex pheromones.

    Scientific journal, Abstract

    Insect outbreaks often occur in the absence of natural enemies and in the presence of excess suitable host materials. Outbreaks of gypsy moths are especially problematic in remote areas located in high-latitude regions in Japan because the majority of adults emerge during the short summer season and initiate synchronous mass flight toward artificial lights. The aggregation of moths in public facilities not only is an annoyance to visitors but also permits the establishment of new populations the following year. The aim of this study was to establish a method to reduce the numbers of large moths that are attracted to lights in the rest areas of expressways in Hokkaido based on the results of research on their behavioral ecology and physiology. First, we conducted extensive insect surveys using light traps that emit light at different wavelengths; the traps were set along the expressways in the summers of 2014–2018. The insects attracted to the light were roughly classified into those showing a preference for broadband light wavelengths (from UV-A to green) and short light wavelengths (from UV-A to blue). The former included aquatic insects and winged ants, and the latter included moths and beetles. Next, we analyzed correlations between moth emergence and daily meteorological data. When gypsy moths were abundant during an outbreak, the daily catch of gypsy moths was positively correlated with the highest ambient temperature on the catch day but not with the visibility range, wind speed, or moon phase. In contrast, the daily catch of oak silkmoths did not correlate with any of these parameters. Our results provide guidance for the management of forest insects inhabiting cool-temperate to subarctic regions based on light wavelengths with reference to weather variables.
  • Separate But Interactive Parallel Olfactory Processing Streams Governed by Different Types of GABAergic Feedback Neurons in the Mushroom Body of a Basal Insect

    Scientific journal, The basic organization of the olfactory system has been the subject of extensive studies in vertebrates and invertebrates. In many animals, GABA-ergic neurons inhibit spike activities of higher-order olfactory neurons and help sparsening of their odor representations. In the cockroach, two different types of GABA-immunoreactive interneurons (calyceal giants [CGs]) mainly project to the base and lip regions of the calyces (input areas) of the mushroom body (MB), a second-order olfactory center. The base and lip regions receive axon terminals of two different types of projection neurons, which receive synapses from different classes of olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs), and receive dendrites of different classes of Kenyon cells, MB intrinsic neurons. We performed intracellular recordings from pairs of CGs and MB output neurons (MBONs) of male American cockroaches, the latter receiving synapses from Kenyon cells, and we found that a CG receives excitatory synapses from an MBON and that odor responses of the MBON are changed by current injection into the CG. Such feedback effects, however, were often weak or absent in pairs of neurons that belong to different streams, suggesting parallel organization of the recurrent pathways, although interactions between different streams were also evident. Cross-covariance analysis of the spike activities of CGs and MBONs suggested that odor stimulation produces synchronized spike activities in MBONs and then in CGs. We suggest that there are separate but interactive parallel streams to process odors detected by different OSNs throughout the olfactory processing system in cockroaches.

    SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTOrganizational principles of the olfactory system have been the subject of extensive studies. In cockroaches, signals from olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) in two different classes of sensilla are sent to two different classes of projection neurons, which terminate in different areas of the mushroom body (MB), each area having dendrites of different classes of MB intrinsic neurons (Kenyon cells) and terminations of different classes of GABAergic neurons. Physiological and morphological assessments derived from simultaneous intracellular recordings/stainings from GABAergic neurons and MB output neurons suggested that GABAergic neurons play feedback roles and that odors detected by OSNs are processed in separate but interactive processing streams throughout the central olfactory system.

  • Two types of sensory proliferation patterns underlie the formation of spatially tuned olfactory receptive fields in the cockroach Periplaneta americana

    Journal of Comparative Neurology, 526, 16, 2683, 2705, Wiley, 18 Oct. 2018, [Peer-reviewed]
    Scientific journal, Abstract

    In the cockroach Periplaneta americana, to represent pheromone source in the receptive space, axon terminals of sex pheromone‐receptive olfactory sensory neurons (pSNs) are topographically organized within the primary center, the macroglomerulus, according to the peripheral locations of sex pheromone‐receptive single walled (sw)‐B sensilla. In this study, we sought to determine when and where pSNs emerge in the nymphal antenna. We revealed two different pSN proliferation patterns that underlie the formation of topographic organization in the macroglomerulus. In nymphal antennae, which lack sw‐B sensilla, pSNs are identified in the shorter sensilla, termed sw‐A sensilla. Because new sw‐A sensilla emerge on the proximal antenna at every molt, topographic organization in the macroglomerulus must be formed by adding axon terminals of newly emerged pSNs to the lateral region in the macroglomerulus at each molt. At the final molt, a huge number of new sw‐B sensilla appeared throughout the whole antenna. Sw‐B sensilla in the proximal part of the adult antenna were newly formed during the last instar stage, whereas those located in the distal antenna were transformed from sw‐A sensilla. This transformation was accompanied by an increase in the number of pSNs. Axon terminals of newborn pSNs in new sw‐B sensilla were recruited to the lateral part of the macroglomerulus, whereas those of newborn pSNs in transformed sw‐B sensilla were recruited to the macroglomerulus according to the sensillar location. These mechanisms enable an increase in sensitivity to sex pheromone in adulthood while retaining the topographic map formed during the postembryonic development.
