The scent of mating strategy: sociosexual orientation was associated with olfaction and body odor sniffing behavior in Chinese and American populations [PDF]
BMC PsychologyBackground Human sexuality and mating behaviors have been linked to the subjective importance of olfaction and body odor in one’s life. This study aimed to investigate the relationships between sociosexual orientation, subjective importance of olfaction,

NADPH Oxidase 3 Deficiency Protects From Noise-Induced Sensorineural Hearing Loss
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 The reactive oxygen species (ROS)-generating NADPH oxidase NOX3 isoform is highly and specifically expressed in the inner ear. NOX3 is needed for normal vestibular development but NOX-derived ROS have also been implicated in the pathophysiology of ...

COVID-19 Smell Impairment and Crosstalk with Hypoxia Physiology
Life, 2022 Since its apomorphic appearance in 2019, severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) nowadays circulates as a plesiomorphic human virus in several synapomorphic variants. The respiratory tract is the most important site of infection,

Second-generation non-hematopoietic erythropoietin-derived peptide for neuroprotection
Redox Biology, 2022 Erythropoietin (EPO) is a well-known erythropoietic cytokine having a tissue-protective effect in various tissues against hypoxic stress, including the brain. Thus, its recombinants may function as neuroprotective compounds. However, despite considerable

Clinical Implications of Septal Deviation in Lateralized Olfaction [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology, 2016 Objectives Results of butanol threshold tests (BTTs) have shown that birhinal olfaction tends to converge toward monorhinal olfaction of the dominant nostril. However, birhinal olfaction may also be worse than dominant-side monorhinal olfaction. The goal

Why human olfaction should not be modeled on theories and tasks of vision
Frontiers in Psychology, 2023 In this paper we analyze some key concepts and problems in olfaction and argue that many concepts borrowed from vision are not helpful in elucidating the functions of human olfaction. This is illustrated with several examples.

Astrocytic Regulation of Neural Circuits Underlying Behaviors
Cells, 2021 Astrocytes, characterized by a satellite-like morphology, are the most abundant type of glia in the central nervous system. Their main functions have been thought to be limited to providing homeostatic support for neurons, but recent studies have ...
