Continuous odor profile monitoring to study olfactory navigation in small animals
eLife, 2023 Olfactory navigation is observed across species and plays a crucial role in locating resources for survival. In the laboratory, understanding the behavioral strategies and neural circuits underlying odor-taxis requires a detailed understanding of the ...

Concentration-Dependent Recruitment of Mammalian Odorant Receptors [PDF]
eneuro, 2020 AbstractA fundamental challenge in studying principles of organization used by the olfactory system to encode odor concentration information has been identifying comprehensive sets of activated odorant receptors (ORs) across a broad concentration range inside freely behaving animals.

Assessment of Odor Annoyance and Its Relationship to Stimulus Concentration and Odor Intensity [PDF]
Chemical Senses, 1998 Results from the present study suggest that magnitude estimation of odor annoyance shows acceptable reliability and that it generates stable individual psychophysical power functions with relatively similar exponent sizes between subjects.

Five Typical Stenches Detection Using an Electronic Nose
Sensors, 2020 This paper deals with the classification of stenches, which can stimulate olfactory organs to discomfort people and pollute the environment. In China, the triangle odor bag method, which only depends on the state of the panelist, is widely used in ...

Lateral inhibition and concentration-invariant odor perception [PDF]
Journal of Biology, 2009 Sensory identity usually remains constant across a large intensity range. Vertebrates use lateral inhibition to match the sensitivity of retinal ganglion cells to the intensity of light. A new study published in Journal of Biology suggests that lateral inhibition in the Drosophila antennal lobe is similarly required for concentration-invariant ...

Correlation between Odor Concentration and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) Composition of Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS). [PDF]
Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2016 We examined the correlation between the odor concentration and the chemical composition of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS). Three types of ETS samples were prepared: secondhand smoke (SHS), thirdhand smoke (THS), and field ETS samples from an outside ...

Optophysiological analysis of pattern classification strategies in the zebrafish olfactory bulb [PDF]
, 2012 Classification of overlapping activity patterns is a common problem for sensory systems. For a robust representation of sensory stimuli, neuronal circuits should generalize over input patterns reflecting variations of the same stimulus but separate ...

Odour concentrations prediction based on odorants concentrations from biosolid emissions
Environmental Research, 2022 Biosolids storage areas are a significant contributor to wastewater treatment plant (WWTPs) odour emissions which can cause sensorial impact to surrounding communities. Most odour impact regulations are based on odour concentration (COD) measurements determined by dynamic olfactometry.
