Honeybees Learn Odour Mixtures via a Selection of Key Odorants [PDF]
, 2015 BACKGROUND The honeybee has to detect, process and learn numerous complex odours from her natural environment on a daily basis. Most of these odours are floral scents, which are mixtures of dozens of different odorants.

Odor Identification Quantitatively by Odorant Receptor Vectors
, 2022 Abstract Background: Odors are perceived by individuals through sensation, memory, experience, etc., and mainly subjective and qualitative evaluation has been performed until now. On the other hand, since Buck et al. succeeded in cloning the odorant receptor in 1991, researchers have shown interest in olfaction system, and molecular biology ...

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Given the inevitability of human and animal exposure to acrylamide, there is increasing concern regarding its potential health risks. While a number of molecular mechanisms have been proposed, the complexity of acrylamide toxicological pathways and interactions remains incompletely characterized.

Coding Odorant Concentration through Activation Timing between the Medial and Lateral Olfactory Bulb
Cell Reports, 2012 In mammals, each olfactory bulb (OB) contains a pair of mirror-symmetric glomerular maps organized to reflect odorant receptor identity. The functional implication of maintaining these symmetric medial-lateral maps within each OB remains unclear.

, 2011 In this paper we explore relevant electrical properties of two olfactory receptors (ORs), one from rat OR I7 and the other from human OR 17-40, which are of interest for the realization of smell nanobiosensors.

The genetic basis of host preference and resting behavior in the major African malaria vector, Anopheles arabiensis [PDF]
, 2016 Malaria transmission is dependent on the propensity of Anopheles mosquitoes to bite humans (anthropophily) instead of other dead end hosts. Recent increases in the usage of Long Lasting Insecticide Treated Nets (LLINs) in Africa have been associated ...

Regulatory Features for Odorant Receptor Genes in the Mouse Genome
Frontiers in Genetics, 2017 The odorant receptor genes, seven transmembrane receptor genes constituting the vastest mammalian gene multifamily, are expressed monogenically and monoallelicaly in each sensory neuron in the olfactory epithelium.

Engineered odorant receptors illuminate structural principles of odor discrimination
, 2023 AbstractA central challenge in olfaction is understanding how the olfactory system detects and distinguishes odorants with diverse physicochemical properties and molecular configurations. Vertebrate animals perceive odors via G protein-coupled odorant receptors (ORs). In humans, ∼400 ORs enable the sense of smell. The OR family is composed of two major
