The interactive role of odor associations in friendship preferences
Scientific ReportsWho we choose to befriend is highly personal, driven by idiosyncratic preferences about other individuals, including sensory cues. How does a person’s unique sensory evaluation of others’ body odor affect friendship formation?

OlfactionBase: a repository to explore odors, odorants, olfactory receptors and odorant–receptor interactions [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2021 Abstract Olfaction is a multi-stage process that initiates with the odorants entering the nose and terminates with the brain recognizing the odor associated with the odorant. In a very intricate way, the process incorporates various components functioning together and in synchronization.

Antagonistic interactions between odorants alter human odor perception
Current Biology, 2022 Abstract The olfactory system detects a vast number of odorants using hundreds of olfactory receptors (ORs), the largest group of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily. Each OR is activated by specific odorous ligands. Like other GPCRs, activation of ORs may be blocked through antagonism.

Competitive and Noncompetitive Odorant Interactions in the Early Neural Coding of Odorant Mixtures [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2008 Most olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) express a single type of olfactory receptor that is differentially sensitive to a wide variety of odorant molecules. The diversity of possible odorant-receptor interactions raises challenging problems for the coding of complex mixtures of many odorants, which make up the vast majority of real world odors.

Reciprocal relationships between sleep and smell
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2022 Despite major anatomical differences with other mammalian sensory systems, olfaction shares with those systems a modulation by sleep/wake states. Sleep modulates odor sensitivity and serves as an important regulator of both perceptual and associative ...

Olfactory Interfaces: Recent Trends and Challenges of E-Noses in Human–Computer Interaction
Engineering Proceedings, 2022 An electronic nose (e-nose) is an electronic device composed of one or more odor sensors, a microcontroller, electronic components, and software that acquire and analyze a gas or volatile organic compound (VOC) present in an environment.

Maternal odor reduces the neural response to fearful faces in human infants
Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 2020 Maternal odor is known to play an important role in mother-infant-interaction in many altricial species such as rodents. However, we only know very little about its role in early human development.

Identification of Characteristic Odorants in Duck Meat by Headspace-Gas Chromatography-Ion Mobility Spectrometry [PDF]
Shipin Kexue, 2023 The characteristic odorants in duck breast, leg and clavicle meat cooked at 60 and 90 ℃ were analyzed by headspace gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) and were identified by sensory evaluation, electronic nose measurement and flavor ...
