Behavioral Responses of Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae) to Blends of Synthetic Fruit Volatiles Combined With Isoamyl Acetate and β-Cyclocitral

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Baits and lures for trapping and monitoring the invasive vinegar fly Drosophila suzukii Matsumura (Diptera: Drosophilidae) are currently derived from fermentation volatiles.

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.

Appropriate Medical Therapy Primarily Modifies Type 2 and Severity Biomarkers in Chronic Rhinosinusitis

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Appropriate medical therapy (AMT) is first‐line treatment for patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). We evaluated inflammatory structure, treatment‐induced changes, and biomarker‐outcome associations in AMT‐managed patients. Methods Fifty‐one CRS patients were evaluated before and after AMT which included a combination of oral ...

Chemosensory Characteristics of Brandies from Chinese Core Production Area and First Insights into Their Differences from Cognac

Foods, 2023
This work aimed to compare the aroma characteristics of representative brandies with different grades from Yantai (one of the Chinese core production areas) and Cognac and to establish relationships between sensory descriptors and chemical composition ...

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.

Olfactory Bulb Volume Reflects Olfactory Dysfunction and Network Organization: Insights From the Population‐Based Rhineland Study

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Olfactory dysfunction is common in aging and an early symptom of neurodegenerative diseases, but how structural (olfactory bulb [OB] volume) and functional (olfactory network [OFN] functional connectivity [FC]) brain features interact to shape odor identification ability remains unclear.

Evaluation of textile substrates for dispensing synthetic attractants for malaria mosquitoes [PDF]

, 2014
Background: The full-scale impact of odour-baited technology on the surveillance, sampling and control of vectors of infectious diseases is partly limited by the lack of methods for the efficient and sustainable dispensing of attractants.

Determining the Minimal Clinically Important Difference of the 40‐Item Smell Identification Test in People With Cystic Fibrosis

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and olfactory dysfunction (OD) are highly prevalent among people with cystic fibrosis (PwCF) and negatively impact quality of life. The 40‐item Smell Identification Test (SIT) is widely used to assess psychophysical olfaction, but a CF‐specific minimal clinically important difference (MCID) has not been ...

The Structural Properties of Odorants Modulate Their Association to Human Odorant Binding Protein

Biomolecules, 2021
The binding of known odorant molecules to the human odorant-binding protein (hOBP) was evaluated in silico. Docking experiments elucidate the preferable binding site and binding affinity of odorant molecules to hOBP.

Neurons and circuits for odor processing in the piriform cortex [PDF]

, 2013
Increased understanding of the early stages of olfaction has lead to a renewed interest in the higher brain regions responsible for forming unified ‘odor images’ from the chemical components detected by the nose.
