Theoretical Analysis of Androstenone Adsorption on Chimpanzee and Gorilla Olfactory Receptors (G‐Protein): Statistical Physics Modeling, Molecular Docking Simulation, and Thermodynamic Investigation

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT An advanced theory based on statistical physics was applied to microscopically investigate androstenone adsorption and its relationship with olfactory perception in chimpanzees and gorillas. For this purpose, dose–response curves of androstenone on olfactory receptors of chimpanzee OR7D4 and gorilla OR7D4 were analyzed by statistical physics ...

Dense representation of natural odorants in the mouse olfactory bulb

open access: yes, 2012
In mammals, odorant molecules are thought to activate only a few glomeruli, leading to the hypothesis that odor representation in the olfactory bulb is sparse. However, the studies supporting this model used anesthetized animals or monomolecular odorants

Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.

Study of the neuronal response to olfactory stimuli in control and LPS-stimulated mice by functional magnetic resonance imaging

open access: yesВавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2015
Olfactory perception plays the key role in the inter­action of animals with biotic factors of the species-specific econiche. Identification of odorants informs nocturnal animals about social environment, presence of predators, or infected food. Olfactory

The effect of background odorants on decision times.

open access: yes, 2021
A. Mean decision time (see Eq 5, Methods) under the “noise-boost” mechanism as a function of the number of background odorants. Blue–“target on” trials, red–“target off” trials. Parameter values are as in Fig 2: θ = 1; m = 0; , where i∈{+,−} and , where #

Osmophobia in Patients With Migraine: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To determine the prevalence of osmophobia and to better characterize experiences reported by patients with migraine. Data Sources CINAHL, Cochrane Library, PubMed, and SCOPUS. Methods The literature was searched for articles reporting prevalence of osmophobia in patients with migraine. Primary outcome measures included proportions (%)

Validation studies in novel odorants from different available databases.

open access: yes, 2019
Bars correspond to means and error bars to the standard error to the mean (SEM). (a) Dravnieks dataset: odorants that fulfill the criteria for the rules woody (a.i), earthy (a.ii), and camphor (a.iii) from our model (Rule (1), black bars) were ...

Characterization of Key Odorants in Cumberland Rosemary, Conradina verticillata [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Conradina verticillata Jennison, commonly known as Cumberland Rosemary, is a threatened plant from the mint family Lamiaceae. This species is a flowering, perennial shrub found in only a few counties of Kentucky and Tennessee.

Performance evaluation of a scent transfer unit for sampling of explosives and their residues to investigate nuisance alerts

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Volatile organic compounds associated with explosives such as Composition C‐4 serve as important targets for canine training as well as field analysis. In parallel, 1‐bromooctane (1‐BO) is a benchmark to contextualize canine performance and aid interpretation of results.

Olfactory sensitivity of human subjects for six predator odorants

open access: yes, 2012
The purpose of the present study was to determine olfactory detection thresholds in human subjects for a set of six sulfur-containing odorants which are known to be components of mammalian predator odors.
