Projection pathways of olfactory receptor neurons in male heliothine moth, Helicoverpa zea, have been traced with cobalt backfilling method coupled with single sensillum recording technique. Several characteristic arborizing patterns of axons are shown from different types of sensilla by the electrophysiological specificities of olfactory neurons they are housing in.
