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.

Women's hedonic ratings of body odor of heterosexual and homosexual men [PDF]

, 2007
Men’s body odor influences women’s mate choice, and individual variation among traits affect hedonic perceptions of this odor (e.g., immune system characteristics; Wedekind & Füri, 1997).

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.

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.

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.

Shedding Light on Inter-Individual Variability of Olfactory Circuits in Drosophila

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2022
Inter-individual differences in behavioral responses, anatomy or functional properties of neuronal populations of animals having the same genotype were for a long time disregarded.

Aedes aegypti mosquitoes detect acidic volatiles found in human odor using the IR8a pathway

Current Biology, 2019
Summary Mosquitoes use olfaction as a primary means of detecting their hosts. Previously, the functional ablation of a family of Aedes aegypti olfactory receptors, the Odorant Receptors (ORs), was not sufficient to reduce host-seeking in the presence of ...

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,

Bilateral and unilateral odor processing and odor perception [PDF]

Communications Biology, 2020
AbstractImagine smelling a novel perfume with only one nostril and then smelling it again with the other nostril. Clearly, you can tell that it is the same perfume both times. This simple experiment demonstrates that odor information is shared across both hemispheres to enable perceptual unity.

Odor coding in piriform cortex: mechanistic insights into distributed coding

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2020
Olfaction facilitates a large variety of animal behaviors such as feeding, mating, and communication. Recent work has begun to reveal the logic of odor transformations that occur throughout the olfactory system to form the odor percept.
