Molecular recognition of an odorant by the murine trace amine-associated receptor TAAR7f
Nature CommunicationsThere are two main families of G protein-coupled receptors that detect odours in humans, the odorant receptors (ORs) and the trace amine-associated receptors (TAARs).

Testing odorant-receptor interaction theories in humans through discrimination of isotopomers
Journal of Biological Research, 2017 Odour reception takes place on the olfactory receptor neuron membrane, where molecular receptors interact with volatile odorant molecules. This interaction is classically thought to rely on chemical and structural features of the odorant, e.g.

Inhibition of Anopheles gambiae Odorant Receptor Function by Mosquito Repellents*
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2015 Background: The mode of action of insect repellents on odorant receptor (OR) function remains unclear. Results: Anopheles gambiae OR function in vitro is inhibited by specific repellents.

, 2010 The OR class insect odorant receptors are ligand-gated ion channels comprised of at least one common subunit (OR83b in Drosophila ) and at least one putative odorant-binding subunit.

Insect molecular biology (Print), 2015 A birth‐and‐death evolutionary model for odorant receptor gene repertoires presumes the creation of repertoires with the capacity for high‐level diversity and rapid ligand specificity change.

From Odors to Colors: Sensory Perception in Neurodiverse Mexican Youth
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Previous work has shown that humans make consistent associations between odor and color. However, neurodiverse individuals, especially those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), perceive and interpret sensory information differently from their neurotypical peers.

A Conserved Odorant Receptor Detects the Same 1-Indanone Analogs in a Tortricid and a Noctuid Moth
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2015 Odorant receptors (ORs) interface animals with airborne chemical signals. They are under strong selection pressure and are therefore highly divergent in different taxa. Yet, some OR orthologs are highly conserved.

Words and Scents: How Language Shapes and Skews Olfactory Processing
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Research on language and olfaction presents a paradox. Language appears to support the formation of odor categories, yet it can also hinder odor recognition through verbal interference, highlighting that different olfactory processes get affected in distinct ways.

Evolution of mosquito preference for humans linked to an odorant receptor
Nature, 2014 Female mosquitoes are major vectors of human disease and the most dangerous are those that preferentially bite humans. A ‘domestic’ form of the mosquito Aedes aegypti has evolved to specialize in biting humans and is the main worldwide vector of dengue ...
