Protein- and Peptide-Based Biosensors in Artificial Olfaction

open access: yesTrends in Biotechnology, 2018
Animals’ olfactory systems rely on proteins, olfactory receptors (ORs) and odorant-binding proteins (OBPs), as their native sensing units to detect odours.

Plasticity in Insect Olfaction: To Smell or Not to Smell?

open access: yesAnnual Review of Entomology, 2016
In insects, olfaction plays a crucial role in many behavioral contexts, such as locating food, sexual partners, and oviposition sites. To successfully perform such behaviors, insects must respond to chemical stimuli at the right moment.

The scent of mating strategy: sociosexual orientation was associated with olfaction and body odor sniffing behavior in Chinese and American populations

open access: yesBMC Psychology
Background Human sexuality and mating behaviors have been linked to the subjective importance of olfaction and body odor in one’s life. This study aimed to investigate the relationships between sociosexual orientation, subjective importance of olfaction,

Human Olfaction without Apparent Olfactory Bulbs

open access: yesNeuron, 2019
to cohort be evident in (cid:1) removal of non-brain regions using BET, high-pass temporal filtering (cutoff period = 125 s) to remove signal drift, and spatial smoothing using a Gaussian kernel of 6 mm full-width at half-maximum.

Stereo olfaction underlies stable coding of head direction in blind mice

open access: yesNature Communications
Stereo olfaction, the difference in odor concentration between the two nostrils, has been shown to affect a variety of animal behaviors, including olfactory search.

Gender-typical olfactory regulation of sexual behavior in goldfish

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2014
It is known that olfaction is essential for the occurrence of sexual behavior in male goldfish. Sex pheromones from ovulatory females elicit male sexual behavior, chasing and sperm releasing act.

Depression, Olfaction, and Quality of Life: A Mutual Relationship

open access: yesBrain Science, 2018
Olfactory dysfunction has been well studied in depression. Common brain areas are involved in depression and in the olfactory process, suggesting that olfactory impairments may constitute potential markers of this disorder.

Cullin-RING E3 ubiquitin ligase 4 regulates neurite morphogenesis during neurodevelopment

open access: yesiScience
Summary: Neuritogenesis is crucial for establishing proper neuronal connections during brain development; its failure causes neurodevelopmental defects.

Elevated Anxiety and Impaired Attention in Super-Smeller, Kv1.3 Knockout Mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2018
It has long been recognized that olfaction and emotion are linked. While chemosensory research using both human and rodent models have indicated a change in emotion can contribute to olfactory dysfunction, there are few studies addressing the ...

FDG PET, dopamine transporter SPECT, and olfaction: Combining biomarkers in REM sleep behavior disorder

open access: yesMovement Disorders, 2017
Idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder is a prodromal stage of Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies. Hyposmia, reduced dopamine transporter binding, and expression of the brain metabolic PD‐related pattern were each associated with increased
