Could humans recognize odor by phonon assisted tunneling? [PDF]
, 2006 Our sense of smell relies on sensitive, selective atomic-scale processes that are initiated when a scent molecule meets specific receptors in the nose. However, the physical mechanisms of detection are not clear.

The key food odorant receptive range of broadly tuned receptor OR2W1.
Food Chemistry, 2021 Mammals perceive a multitude of odorants by their chemical sense of olfaction, a high-dimensional stimulus-detection system, with hundreds of narrowly or broadly tuned receptors, enabling pattern recognition by the brain.

Tuning Insect Odorant Receptors [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018 Among the insect olfactory receptors the odorant receptors (ORs) evolved in parallel to the onset of insect flight. A special property of this receptor type is the capability to adjust sensitivity of odor detection according to previous odor contacts.

Onset of Odorant Receptors [PDF]
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2009 Odorant receptors are thought to be critical determinants of olfactory sensory neuron axon targeting and organization. Nonetheless, a systematic characterization of the onset of odorant receptor expression has not yet been done in the main olfactory epithelium.

BMC Genomics, 2019 Background Odorant receptor genes constitute the largest gene family in mammalian genomes and this family has been extensively studied in several species, but to date far less attention has been paid to the characterization of their mRNA 3′ untranslated ...

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Representational drift is a phenomenon of increasing interest in the cognitive and neural sciences. While investigations are ongoing for other sensory cortices, recent research has demonstrated the pervasiveness in which it occurs in the piriform cortex for olfaction.

Inhibition of insect olfactory behavior by an airborne antagonist of the insect odorant receptor co-receptor subunit. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Response to volatile environmental chemosensory cues is essential for insect survival. The odorant receptor (OR) family is an important class of receptors that detects volatile molecules; guiding insects towards food, mates, and oviposition sites.

medRxiv, 2020 Post-infectious anosmias typically follow death of olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) with a months-long recovery phase associated with parosmias. While profound anosmia is the leading symptom associated with COVID-19 infection, many patients regain ...
