Olfactory Stimulation Modulates Visual Perception Without Training
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 Considerable research shows that olfactory stimulations affect other modalities in high-level cognitive functions such as emotion. However, little known fact is that olfaction modulates low-level perception of other sensory modalities.

Mandrills use olfaction to socially avoid parasitized conspecifics
Science Advances, 2017 Mandrills use olfactory cues from feces of conspecifics to evaluate parasite status and avoid social contact with infectious animals. The evolutionary transition from a solitary to a social lifestyle entails an elevated parasite cost because the social ...

Olfaction and changes in body composition in a large cohort of older US adults.
The journals of gerontology. Series A, Biological sciences and medical sciences, 2020 BACKGROUND Poor sense of smell in older adults may lead to weight loss, which may further contribute to various adverse health outcomes. However, empirical prospective evidence is lacking.

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 ...

Introducing a translationally relevant mouse model of radiosurgery-induced unilateral hearing loss
Frontiers in NeuroscienceBackgroundStereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is widely used to treat vestibular schwannomas but may cause irreversible hearing loss due to cochlear toxicity. The underlying mechanisms are not fully understood, and no effective otoprotective therapies exist.

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 ...

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.

Sniffing out cognitive decline in patients with and without evidence of dopaminergic deficit
Clinical Parkinsonism & Related Disorders, 2019 Background: Depletion of dopamine is a major neuropathological feature of Parkinson's disease; however, 15% of patients with parkinsonian motor symptoms have neuroimaging evidence of intact dopaminergic function.
