检测动物的嗅觉感知是一项艰巨的任务，需要在外周水平（例如，使用触角电图）或行为水平（例如，使用选择行为测定）进行间接研究。我们在受约束的蜜蜂中证明，触角运动的变化可用于分析气味检测。已使用两种基于气味刺激期间数字记录分析的方法：手动或自动（通过图像处理）收集天线连续位置的数据。两种方法的结果相似，表明柠檬醛引起触角运动速度的增加。将嗅觉刺激（柠檬醛）与单独的空气刺激以及由水或奎宁溶液饱和的空气组成的刺激进行比较，我们从这些观察中得出结论，只有挥发性分子才会引起蜜蜂触角的可检测运动。意大利蜜蜂 / 触角运动 / 嗅觉 / 视频帧分析 / 自动记录
Detecting olfactory perception in animals is a difficult task requiring indirect investigation at the peripheral level (e.g., using electroantennograms) or at the behavioral level (e.g., using choice behavior assays). We show in restrained honeybees that variations in antennal movements can be used to analyze odor detection. Two methods, based on the analysis of digital recordings during odor stimulations, have been used: manual or automatic (with image processing) data collection of the successive positions of the antennae. The results were similar for the two methods and showed that citral induced an increase in the velocity of the antennal movements. Comparing the olfactory stimulation (citral) to air alone stimulation and to stimulation consisting of air saturated with water or quinine solution, we conclude from these observations that only volatile molecules induce detectable movements of the antennae in the honeybee.
