• The bombykol analogue (Z,E)-4,6-hexadecadiene elicits nerve-impulse firing in the bombykol receptor cell of male moths of Bombyx mori . It is about 100 times less effective than bombykol if one compares equipotent loads of the odor sources. However, brief (1 s) hexadecadiene stimuli are followed by after-responses lasting for more than 10 min, much longer than those following bombykol stimuli yielding equal initial responses. The after-responses can be reversibly inhibited by linalool stimuli.
