Distortion of Olfactory Perception: Diagnosis and Treatment [PDF]
Chemical Senses, 2002 Clinically, olfaction can fail in any of three ways: (i) decreased sensitivity (hyposmia, anosmia) and two types of distortion (dysosmia); (ii) distorted quality of an odorant stimulation (troposmia); (iii) perceived odor when no odorant is present (phantosmia, hallucination).

Neural and behavioral mechanisms of olfactory perception [PDF]
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2008 Recent in vivo and in vitro studies have challenged existing models of olfactory processing in the vertebrate olfactory bulb and insect antennal lobe. Whereas lateral connectivity between olfactory glomeruli was previously thought to form a dense, topographically organized inhibitory surround, new evidence suggests that lateral connections may be ...

Thermal signatures of human pheromones in sexual and reproductive behaviour [PDF]
, 2010 Chemically mediated sexual communication in humans has been largely neglected due to its non-conscious and relatively concealed nature. However, menstrual cycle synchronisation, puberty onset in young pre-pubertal girls exposed to their stepfather, and ...

Measures of Human Olfactory Perception During Pregnancy [PDF]
Chemical Senses, 2007 Although considerable anecdotal evidence suggests that pregnancy affects olfactory sensitivity, scientific evidence is limited and inconclusive. Whereas hedonic ratings are affected by pregnancy, odor identification is not. The aim of the current study was to examine odor perception in women across pregnancy and in the postpartum period.

fMRI Evidence for Modality-Specific Processing of Conceptual Knowledge on Six Modalities [PDF]
, 2003 Traditional theories assume that amodal representations, such as feature lists and semantic networks, represent conceptual knowledge about the world. According to this view, the sensory, motor, and introspective states that arise during perception and ...
