ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a method of selecting for a compound which modulates the behavior of an insect. In this method, electrical characteristics of an insect chemoreceptor neuron in the presence of control stimulation, then a known chemical modulator of insect activity, and then a test compound are measured after the neuron is contacted therewith. These measurements are compared and the test compound classified based on this comparison.
