1)Olfactory sensory neuron (OSN) classes are defined according their primary responses. Pcn: Pinocarvone, tMTol: tert. monoterpenols, pC: p-Cymene, cV: cis-Verbenol, My: Myrcene, Sty: Styrene

2)responses: • = 30 – 50 Hz, •• = 51 – 75 Hz, ••• = 76 – 100 Hz, •••• = 101 – 150 Hz, ••••• >150 Hz. Responses in parentheses were found only occasionally or tested few times. #) OSN – class according to Andersson et al. (2009)
