A Quantification (mean ± standard error of the mean) of transcuticle calcium responses from the indicated olfactory receptor neurons (ORN) to the paraffin oil solvent (n = 7), 7-Tricosene (n = 6), or heptanal (n = 7). Statistical differences between the treatments were calculated with two-tailed t-tests comparing the responses to solvent and 7-Tricosene and solvent and heptanal (10−2 dilution). B Calcium fluorescence traces of the candidate ORNs in response to a 10−2 dilution of heptanal visualized with standard error of the mean as gray shaded areas. C Dose-response curves of the candidate ORNs to aliquots of heptanal (n = 7 per aliquot). The error bars indicate the standard error of the mean. See Fig. S2 for negative control on Or47b.
