Abstract:		"The responsiveness of insect antennae to bornyl acetate (BA), a sex pheromone mimic and N,N-diethyl phenylacetamide (DEPA), a multi-insect repellent has been studied. Electrical activity from the antennal lobe was quantified to observe the alterations in power and frequency spectrum in P. americana Linn. following exposure to these chemicals. Two distinct patterns of responses were exhibited on exposure to BA and DEPA, the former producing a marked excitation and the latter inhibition of electrical discharge during the exposure to these compounds at a concentration of 200 micrograms"
