Emotional modulation of cortical activity during gum chewing: A functional near-infrared spectroscopy study

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
Distinct brain regions are known to be associated with various emotional states. Cortical activity may be modulated by emotional states that are triggered by flavors during food intake.

Enhanced odor discrimination and impaired olfactory memory by spatially controlled switch of AMPA receptors [PDF]

, 2005
Genetic perturbations of alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionate receptors (AMPARs) are widely used to dissect molecular mechanisms of sensory coding, learning, and memory.

Olfactory receptor neurons generate multiple response motifs, increasing coding space dimensionality

eLife, 2023
Odorants binding to olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) trigger bursts of action potentials, providing the brain with its only experience of the olfactory environment.

Power-Law Distributions of Dynamic Cascade Failures in Power-Grid Models

Entropy, 2020
Power-law distributed cascade failures are well known in power-grid systems. Understanding this phenomena has been done by various DC threshold models, self-tuned at their critical point.

Optimizing odor-baited trap methods for collecting mosquitoes during the malaria season in The Gambia. [PDF]

, 2009
BACKGROUND: Baited traps are potential tools for removal or surveillance of disease vectors. To optimize the use of counter-flow traps baited with human odor (nylon socks that had been worn for a single day) to capture wild mosquitoes in the Gambia ...

Familiar-odor-biased PNs and LNs are novelty and familiarity detectors.

, 2022
PNs and LNs display initial response biases to the two test odors Hex and Oct prior to familiarization (A1, A2). Some neurons respond more strongly to Oct than to Hex, i.e., data points above the diagonal line; some neurons respond more strongly to Hex ...

Odors Associated With Autobiographical Memory Induce Visual Imagination of Emotional Scenes as Well as Orbitofrontal-Fusiform Activation

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Specific odors can induce memories of the past, especially those associated with autobiographical and episodic memory. Odors associated with autobiographical memories have been found to elicit stronger activation in the orbitofrontal cortex, hippocampus,

The Potential Use of Volatile Biomarkers for Malaria Diagnosis

Diagnostics, 2021
Pathogens may change the odor and odor-related biting behavior of the vector and host to enhance pathogen transmission. In recent years, volatile biomarker investigations have emerged to identify odors that are differentially and specifically released by
