Drosophila olfactory receptors as classifiers for volatiles from disparate real world applications [PDF]

, 2014
Olfactory receptors evolved to provide animals with ecologically and behaviourally relevant information. The resulting extreme sensitivity and discrimination has proven useful to humans, who have therefore co-opted some animals' sense of smell.

Perception‐transduction‐transmission separation bionic H2S sensor

InfoScience, EarlyView.
The modular separation of biological olfactory systems boasts unparalleled efficiency in olfactory recognition. Introducing this perception‐transduction‐transmission separation design into chemiresistive gas sensors (bionic olfactory sensing) based on the heterojunction rectification effect overcomes the inherent limitations of traditional sensor ...

Data-driven modeling of the olfactory neural codes and their dynamics in the insect antennal lobe [PDF]

, 2013
Recordings from neurons in the insects' olfactory primary processing center, the antennal lobe (AL), reveal that the AL is able to process the input from chemical receptors into distinct neural activity patterns, called olfactory neural codes.

The Sense of Smell (SoS) Atlas: Its Creation and First Application to Investigate COVID‐19 Related Anosmia With a Comprehensive Quantitative MRI Protocol

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The loss of smell (anosmia) has been noted in numerous diseases, including COVID‐19. Inflammatory and microstructural alterations are possible underlying mechanisms of anosmia in COVID‐19. However, no atlas exists to study olfaction and the associated tissue property changes.

GeNN: a code generation framework for accelerated brain simulations [PDF]

, 2015
Large-scale numerical simulations of detailed brain circuit models are important for identifying hypotheses on brain functions and testing their consistency and plausibility. An ongoing challenge for simulating realistic models is, however, computational

Assessing potential impacts of black bear predation on neonatal mortality in boreal caribou

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We used simulations to show that even if caribou give birth in areas with the least chance of encountering a black bear, there are so many bears on the landscape that predation risk for caribou calves can still be quite high. Bear densities used in our simulation were typical for the boreal forest.

Olfactory Impairment and the Risk of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Outcomes in Older Adults

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Olfactory impairment is common in older adults and may be associated with adverse cardiovascular health; however, empirical evidence is sparse.

Effect of Olfactory Training in COVID‐19 Related Olfactory Dysfunction—A Placebo‐Controlled Trial

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This randomized placebo‐controlled trial evaluates the effectiveness of olfactory training in patients with post‐COVID‐19 olfactory dysfunction. The results showed no significant improvement in olfactory function after 12 weeks of training. The presence of parosmia was associated with reduced effectiveness of the olfactory training.
