The RUB cage: Respiration-Ultrasonic vocalizations-Behavior acquisition set-up for assessing emotional memory in rats

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2011
In animals, emotional memory is classically assessed through pavlovian fear conditioning in which a neutral novel stimulus (conditioned stimulus) is paired with an aversive unconditioned stimulus.

Olfaction [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the American Thoracic Society, 2011
Abstract 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 ...

Towards Gas Discrimination and Mapping in Emergency Response Scenarios Using a Mobile Robot with an Electronic Nose

open access: yesSensors, 2019
Emergency personnel, such as firefighters, bomb technicians, and urban search and rescue specialists, can be exposed to a variety of extreme hazards during the response to natural and human-made disasters. In many of these scenarios, a risk factor is the

Human Olfaction at the Intersection of Language, Culture, and Biology.

open access: yesTrends in Cognitive Sciences, 2020
The human sense of smell can accomplish astonishing feats, yet there remains aprevailing belief that olfactory language is deficient. Numerous studies withEnglishspeakers support this view: there are few terms for odors, odor talkis infrequent,and naming

Sex Differences in Human Olfaction: A Meta-Analysis

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2019
Although the view that women's olfactory abilities outperform men's is taken for granted, some studies involving large samples suggested that male and female olfactory abilities are actually similar.

Olfaction and Physical Functioning in Older Adults: A Longitudinal Study.

open access: yesThe journals of gerontology. Series A, Biological sciences and medical sciences, 2021
BACKGROUND Poor olfaction is associated with worse functional performance in older adults, but longitudinal evidence is lacking. We investigated poor olfaction in relation to longitudinal changes in physical functioning among community-dwelling older ...
