The odor of a nontoxic tetrodotoxin analog, 5,6,11-trideoxytetrodotoxin, is detected by specific olfactory sensory neurons of the green spotted puffers.

Takehisa Suzuki, Ryota Nakahigashi, Masaatsu Adachi…·Hideki Abe

The study identifies a specific group of olfactory sensory neurons in green spotted puffers that respond to the nontoxic TTX analog TDT, supporting its role as a chemosensory cue for conspecific attraction and prey detection.
