Smelling Nano Aerial Vehicle for Gas Source Localization and Mapping
Sensors, 2019 This paper describes the development and validation of the currently smallest aerial platform with olfaction capabilities. The developed Smelling Nano Aerial Vehicle (SNAV) is based on a lightweight commercial nano-quadcopter (27 g) equipped with a ...

Poor olfaction and pneumonia hospitalisation among community-dwelling older adults: a cohort study
The Lancet. Healthy Longevity, 2021 Summary: Background: Poor olfaction is common in older adults and might signify broader health implications beyond its role in neurodegeneration. We aimed to evaluate the association of poor olfaction and the risk of any, first-ever, and recurrent ...

A carboxylesterase, Esterase-6, modulates sensory physiological and behavioral response dynamics to pheromone in Drosophila [PDF]
, 2012 Conclusions: Our study presents evidence that Est-6 plays a role in the physiological and behavioral dynamics of sex pheromone response in Drosophila males and supports a role of Est-6 as an odorant-degrading enzyme (ODE) in male antennae.

Increasing pattern recognition accuracy for chemical sensing by evolutionary based drift compensation [PDF]
, 2011 Artificial olfaction systems, which mimic human olfaction by using arrays of gas chemical sensors combined with pattern recognition methods, represent a potentially low-cost tool in many areas of industry such as perfumery, food and drink production ...

Do sheep (Ovis aries) discriminate human emotional odors?
Animal CognitionWhile sheep can detect and discriminate human emotions through visual and vocal cues, their reaction to human body odors remains unknown. The present study aimed to determine whether sheep (Ovis aries) can detect human odors, olfactorily discriminate ...

Could humans recognize odor by phonon assisted tunneling? [PDF]
, 2006 Our sense of smell relies on sensitive, selective atomic-scale processes that are initiated when a scent molecule meets specific receptors in the nose. However, the physical mechanisms of detection are not clear.

An intrinsic association between olfactory identification and spatial memory in humans
Nature Communications, 2018 Olfaction, the sense of smell, may have originally evolved to aid navigation in space, but there is no direct evidence of a link between olfaction and navigation in humans.
