A Differential Topological Model for Olfactory Learning and Representation [PDF]
This thesis is designed to be a self-contained exposition of the neurobiological and mathematical aspects of sensory perception, memory, and learning with a bias towards olfaction. The final chapters introduce a new approach to modeling focusing more on the geometry of the system as opposed to element wise dynamics.

Electric Times in Olfaction [PDF]
Recent work established the spread of interglomerular excitation in the Drosophila antennal lobe. Two papers in this issue of Neuron, by Huang et al. and Yaksi and Wilson, show that cholinergic krasavietz local interneurons are a major substrate for this spread of excitation, predominantly via electrical coupling.

RNA‐Based Biopesticides: Pioneering Precision Solutions for Sustainable Aquaculture in China
The Chinese dragon represents RNA biopesticides, which effectively counteract bacterial, viral, and parasitic threats, safeguarding aquatic life. This method is precise, focusing solely on harmful agents and sparing beneficial aquaculture species. Its innovative nature protects aquatic environments while reducing ecological footprint.

Interaction between Olfaction and Gustation by Using Synchrony Perception Task
It seems that interaction between olfaction (smell sensation) and gustation (taste sensation) will stronger than other interactions among five senses, although no one has ever confirmed psychophysically.

Quantum Biology: Can we explain olfaction using quantum phenomenon? [PDF]
The sense of smell is an important part of living organisms. It assists with the interaction of the living organism with its environment. The mechanism by which smell is detected and identified is not fully known. Earlier, shape theory was proposed as an explanation for odor perception mechanism.

Procrustean Orthogonal Sparse Hashing [PDF]
Hashing is one of the most popular methods for similarity search because of its speed and efficiency. Dense binary hashing is prevalent in the literature. Recently, insect olfaction was shown to be structurally and functionally analogous to sparse hashing [6].

This paper centers on selected—and particularly, little recognized— problems in mammalian olfaction: (1) With certain exceptions the spacing of the external nares in most mammals does not favor orientation in an odor gradient by simultaneous comparisons of odor intensities (tropotaxis).

ABSTRACT Aquaporin‐4 (AQP4) is a water‐selective channel expressed in glial cells throughout the central nervous system (CNS). It serves as the primary water channel in the neuropil and plays roles in physiological functions, including regulating water homeostasis by adjusting cell volume and modulating neuronal activity. Different isoforms of AQP4 are

Drift in a Popular Metal Oxide Sensor Dataset Reveals Limitations for Gas Classification Benchmarks [PDF]
Metal oxide (MOx) electro-chemical gas sensors are a sensible choice for many applications, due to their tunable sensitivity, their space-efficiency and their low price. Publicly available sensor datasets streamline the development and evaluation of novel algorithm and circuit designs, making them particularly valuable for the Artificial Olfaction ...

Sensing Dog Brain Reactions to Smell by AI Speckle Pattern Analysis
The setup of our experiment is shown on Labrador, Johny, a canine participant of our research. The schematic of the setup features: green laser, digital camera, source of smell, and computer. Regions of the brain that were tested are highlighted. Note that the hippocampus and amygdala are on both sides of the dog's brain.
