The role of SNMPs in insect olfaction

Cell and Tissue Research, 2020
The sense of smell enables insects to recognize olfactory signals crucial for survival and reproduction. In insects, odorant detection highly depends on the interplay of distinct proteins expressed by specialized olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) and ...

Poor Human Olfaction is a Nineteenth Century Myth

Science, 2017
Humans have a good sense of smell In comparison to that of other animals, the human sense of smell is widely considered to be weak and underdeveloped. This is, however, an unproven hypothesis.

Can scent-detection dogs detect the stress associated with trauma cue exposure in people with trauma histories? A proof-of-concept study

Frontiers in Allergy
IntroductionPost-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an impairing mental health condition with high prevalence among military and general populations alike. PTSD service dogs are a complementary and alternative intervention needing scientific validation.

Feasibility of integrating canine olfaction with chemical and microbial profiling of urine to detect lethal prostate cancer

bioRxiv, 2020
Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in men in the developed world. A more sensitive and specific detection strategy for lethal prostate cancer beyond serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) population screening is urgently needed ...

Electric Times in Olfaction [PDF]

Neuron, 2010
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.

Relationship between the Korean Version of the Sniffin' Stick Test and the T&T Olfactometer in the Korean Population [PDF]

Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology, 2011
ObjectivesThe Korean version of the Sniffin' stick (KVSS) test is widely used in Korea to evaluate olfactory function. However, its validity and reliability have not been studied well.

Inverse resource allocation between vision and olfaction across the genus Drosophila

Nature Communications, 2019
Divergent populations across different environments are exposed to critical sensory information related to locating a host or mate, as well as avoiding predators and pathogens.

Poor preoperative performance at Clock Drawing Test is associated with postoperative decline in olfaction in older patients: an observational pilot study

BMC Anesthesiology, 2023
Background Decline in olfaction may occur after general anesthesia, but the exact incidence and underlying physiopathology remain scarcely investigated. Olfactory dysfunction arises with aging and is known to be linked to cognitive impairment.

Relationship Between Poor Olfaction and Mortality Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults

Annals of Internal Medicine, 2019
The human sense of smell gradually decreases with age. Olfactory impairment or poor sense of smell affects up to 25% of U.S. older adults and, unlike hearing or vision impairment, often goes unrecognized (1, 2).
