Harnessing thermal fluctuations for selectivity gain [PDF]
2022 IEEE International Symposium on Olfaction and Electronic Nose
(ISOEN), 2022, pp. 1-3, 2022 Selectivity of olfactory receptor neuron (ORN) is compared with that of its receptor proteins (R) with fluctuations of odor binding-releasing process taken into account. The binding-releasing process is modeled as N Bernoulli trials, where N is the total number of R per ORN.

Olfaction in alcohol-dependence: a neglected yet promising research field.
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 Olfaction research deeply renewed the knowledge of the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in various psychopathological states and showed that olfactory deficits might constitute an onset or trait marker in psychiatry.

The Olfactory System: Basic Anatomy and Physiology for General Otorhinolaryngologists [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology, 2023 Olfaction is one of the five basic human senses, and it is known to be one of the most primitive senses. The sense of olfaction may have been critical for human survival in prehistoric society, and although many believe its importance has diminished over

Impaired olfaction is associated with cognitive decline and neurodegeneration in the brain
Neurology, 2019 Objective We aimed to examine whether impaired olfaction is associated with cognitive decline and indicators of neurodegeneration in the brain of dementia-free older adults. Methods Within the Rush Memory and Aging Project, 380 dementia-free participants
