The influence of stimulus duration on olfactory perception.
The duration of a stimulus plays an important role in the coding of sensory information. The role of stimulus duration is extensively studied in the tactile, visual, and auditory system.

Olfactory perception in children
The ability to smell is important for protection from danger and quality of life, even in children. Although smell loss is rare in children, it can be indicative of some childhood disorders and may be useful for understanding some disorders.

Olfactory Perception: Receptors, Cells, and Circuits [PDF]
Remarkable advances in our understanding of olfactory perception have been made in recent years, including the discovery of new mechanisms of olfactory signaling and new principles of olfactory processing. Here, we discuss the insight that has been gained into the receptors, cells, and circuits that underlie the sense of smell.

Neural Activity at the Human Olfactory Epithelium Reflects Olfactory Perception
Organization of receptive surfaces reflects primary axes of perception. In vision, retinal coordinates reflect spatial coordinates. In audition, cochlear coordinates reflect tonal coordinates. However, the rules underlying the organization of the olfactory receptive surface are unknown.

EEG features in patients with Parkinson's disease during directional perception of olfactory stimuli [PDF]
Introduction. Olfactory dysfunction is considered to be an early and relatively important marker of Parkinson's disease (PD). Olfactory studies using objective neurophysiological methods may become one of the diagnostic tests to identify individuals with

Although emotion and olfaction are closely linked, only a few studies have investigated olfactory processing in alexithymia, a condition characterized by altered emotional processing.

Odours count: human olfactory ecology appears to be helpful in the improvement of the sense of smell
Odours modify human behaviour. Research in this field develops rapidly, providing more and more exciting discoveries. In this context, our daily odorous environment has been surprisingly poorly explored.

The Sniff Is Part of the Olfactory Percept [PDF]
In this review, we use data obtained primarily from humans to argue that sniffs are not merely a stimulus carrier but are rather a central component of the olfactory percept. We argue that sniffs 1) are necessary for the olfactory percept, 2) affect odorant intensity perception and identity perception, 3) drive activity in olfactory cortex, 4) are ...

BackgroundNeuroimaging studies have shown a complex pattern of brain activation during perception of a pleasant odor and during its olfactory imagery. To date, little is known regarding changes in motor cortex excitability during these tasks.

Physicochemical features partially explain olfactory crossmodal correspondences
During the olfactory perception process, our olfactory receptors are thought to recognize specific chemical features. These features may contribute towards explaining our crossmodal perception. The physicochemical features of odors can be extracted using
