Wider Than the Sky: An Alternative to “Mapping” the World Onto the Brain
European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 62, Issue 4, August 2025.Challenging the topographic paradigm: The olfactory system's dynamic organization and phenomena like representational drift challenge traditional spatial mapping models, advocating for flexible, rule‐based frameworks in neuroscience. Dynamic, context‐dependent encoding: Experience‐dependent plasticity and morphological computation in olfaction ...

Investigation of the efficacy of immunocastration aimed at the prevention of sex odour in boar meat [PDF]
Acta Veterinaria, 2012 Disadvantage of meat known as boar taint is caused by steroids, androstenone being of particular importance, as well as indole and its derivatives, among which the best known is skatole. The common practice in Europe, in order to control these changes

Protein Science, Volume 34, Issue 6, June 2025.Abstract The complex genotype‐to‐phenotype relationships in Mendelian diseases can be elucidated by mutation‐induced disturbances to the networks of molecular interactions (interactomes) in human cells. Missense and nonsense mutations cause distinct perturbations within the human protein interactome, leading to functional and phenotypic effects with ...

Feed interventions and skatole deposition [PDF]
, 2012 Skatole produced in the large intestine of the pig and the testicular steroid androstenone are the main substances contributing to boar tainted meat from entire male pigs.

Gene expression profiles in liver of pigs with extreme high and low levels of androstenone
BMC Veterinary Research, 2008 Background Boar taint is the unpleasant odour and flavour of the meat of uncastrated male pigs that is primarily caused by high levels of androstenone and skatole in adipose tissue.

Learning to smell: Repeated exposure increases sensitivity to androstenone, a major component of boar taint [PDF]
, 2013 This study aimed to assess whether repeated exposure affects subjects' ability to detect androstenone. Olfactory acuity of 77 female and 44 male subjects (age 37.5 +/- 11.7 years) was assessed three times during six weeks.

Olfactory perception of 5α-androst-16-en-3-one: Data obtained in the residents of central Russia
Data in Brief, 2022 This dataset describes olfactory perception of androstenone (5α-androst-16-en-3-one) in residents of central Russia (n=807, 9-84 years old). Based on previous studies, 3.13 × 10−3% androstenone was utilized for sensory testing. A modified two-alternative
