The scaling of olfaction: Moths have relatively more olfactory surface area than mammals.
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2022 Body size affects nearly every aspect of locomotion and sensing, but little is known how body size influences olfaction. One reason for this missing link is that olfaction differs fundamentally from vision and hearing in that molecules are advected by ...

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 ...

Canine Olfaction: Physiology, Behavior, and Possibilities for Practical Applications
Animals, 2021 Simple Summary Dogs have an extraordinary olfactory capability, which far exceeds that of humans. Dogs’ sense of smell seems to be the main sense, allowing them to not only gather both current and historical information about their surrounding ...

Cells, 2022 Hearing loss affects over 460 million people worldwide and is a major socioeconomic burden. Both genetic and environmental factors (i.e., noise overexposure, ototoxic drug treatment and ageing), promote the irreversible degeneration of cochlear hair ...

Artificial Olfaction in the 21st Century
IEEE Sensors Journal, 2021 The human olfactory system remains one of the most challenging biological systems to replicate. Humans use it without thinking, where it can measure offer protection from harm and bring enjoyment in equal measure.

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,

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

ACS Chemical Neuroscience, 2020 The novel SARS-CoV-2 virus has very high infectivity, which allows it to spread rapidly around the world. Attempts at slowing the pandemic at this stage depend on the number and quality of diagnostic tests performed.

Olfaction in Anopheles mosquitoes.
Chemical Sensors, 2021 As vectors for disease, mosquitoes are a global threat to human health. The Anopheles mosquito is the deadliest mosquito species as the insect vector for the malaria-causing parasite, which kills hundreds of thousands every year.

Proceedings of the American Thoracic Society, 2011 Olfaction represents an ancient, evolutionarily critical physiologic system. In humans, chemosensation mediates safety, nutrition, sensation of pleasure, and general well-being. Factors that affect human olfaction included structural aspects of the nasal cavity that can modulate airflow and therefore odorant access to the olfactory cleft, and ...
