New insights on repellent recognition by Anopheles gambiae odorant-binding protein 1 [PDF]

, 2018
It is generally recognized that insect odorant binding proteins (OBPs) mediate the solubilisation and transport of hydrophobic odorant molecules and contribute to the sensitivity of the insect olfactory system.

An olfactory cocktail party: figure-ground segregation of odorants in rodents

Nature Neuroscience, 2014
In odorant-rich environments, animals must be able to detect specific odorants of interest against variable backgrounds. However, studies have found that both humans and rodents are poor at analyzing the components of odorant mixtures, suggesting that ...

Influence of the Chemical Structure on Odor Qualities and Odor Thresholds of Halogenated Guaiacol-Derived Odorants [PDF]

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2017
Chlorinated guaiacol derivatives are found in waste water of pulp mills using chlorine in the bleaching process of wood pulp. They can also be detected in fish tissue, possibly causing off-odors. To date, there is no systematic investigation on the odor properties of halogenated guaiacol derivatives.

The Wire Is Not the Territory: Understanding Representational Drift in Olfaction With Dynamical Systems Theory

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.

Decoding odor quality and intensity in the Drosophila brain [PDF]

, 2014
To internally reflect the sensory environment, animals create neural maps encoding the external stimulus space. From that primary neural code relevant information has to be extracted for accurate navigation.

Odor Intensity Shift Keying (OISK) and Channel Capacity of Odor-based Molecular Communications in Internet of Everything [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Molecular communication is a new, active area of research that has created a paradigm shift in the way a communication system is perceived. An artificial molecular communication network is created using biological molecules for encoding, transmitting and decoding the symbols to convey information.

Are Odorant-binding Proteins Involved in Odorant Discrimination? [PDF]

Chemical Senses, 1996
Pheromone-sensitive sensilla trichodea of nine moth species belonging to six families and three superfamilies of Lepidoptera were immunolabelled with an antiserum against the pheromone-binding protein of Antheraea polyphemus. Strong immunolabelling of the sensillum lymph was observed in all long sensilla trichodea of A. polyphemus, A.

Electroolfactogram (EOG) Recording in the Mouse Main Olfactory Epithelium [PDF]

, 2013
Olfactory sensory neurons in the main olfactory epithelium (MOE) are responsible for detecting odorants and EOG recording is a reliable approach to analyze the peripheral olfactory function.

An Account of Roman Surgical Treatments for Ozena: Historical Review

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This historical study investigates ancient Roman surgical techniques for treating ozena as described by Celsus, with a focus on its historical and etymological context. Independent translation and archaeological evidence contextualize two ancient procedures: closed nasal cauterization using a heated probe and an open approach involving dissection and ...

Attraction to natural stimuli in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]

arXiv, 2009
The animals, in particular insects (Drosophila melanogaster), response towards odor stimuli in nature can be established by measuring the dynamic of the odor response. Such an approach is innovative since responses to odors were tested only at certain time point so far, not in hour intervals for several hours.
