Physicochemical features partially explain olfactory crossmodal correspondences
Scientific Reports, 2023 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

Stimulus Driven Functional Transformations in the Early Olfactory System
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021 Olfactory stimuli are encountered across a wide range of odor concentrations in natural environments. Defining the neural computations that support concentration invariant odor perception, odor discrimination, and odor-background segmentation across a ...

eLife, 2018 Both passive exposure and active learning through reinforcement enhance fine sensory discrimination abilities. In the olfactory system, this enhancement is thought to occur partially through the integration of adult-born inhibitory interneurons resulting

Olfactory perception is positively linked to anxiety in young adults [PDF]
, 2012 Olfactory abilities show a high degree of inter-individual variability and this could be partly related to personality differences. Here, in two studies, we tested a potential link between personality dimensions and olfactory perception.

Exploring olfactory sensory networks: Simulations and hardware emulation [PDF]
, 2010 Olfactory stimuli are represented in a highdimensional space by neural networks of the olfactory system. A great deal of research in olfaction has focused on this representation within the first processing stage, the olfactory bulb (vertebrates) or ...

The Olfactory System: Basic Anatomy and Physiology for General Otorhinolaryngologists [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology, 2023 Olfaction is one of the five basic human senses, and it is known to be one of the most primitive senses. The sense of olfaction may have been critical for human survival in prehistoric society, and although many believe its importance has diminished over

Short-term availability of adult-born neurons for memory encoding
Nature Communications, 2019 Olfactory bulb neurogenesis raises the question of how persistent olfactory memories are retained while remaining flexible to encode new memories. Here, the authors show that new neurons can only support a single odor memory within their critical period ...

Learning to smell danger: Acquired associative representation of threat in the olfactory cortex
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2014 Neuroscience research over the past few decades has reached a strong consensus that the amygdala plays a key role in emotion processing. However, many questions remain unanswered, especially concerning emotion perception.

An olfactory demography of a diverse metropolitan population
BMC Neuroscience, 2012 Background Human perception of the odour environment is highly variable. People vary both in their general olfactory acuity as well as in if and how they perceive specific odours.

Optophysiological analysis of pattern classification strategies in the zebrafish olfactory bulb [PDF]
, 2012 Classification of overlapping activity patterns is a common problem for sensory systems. For a robust representation of sensory stimuli, neuronal circuits should generalize over input patterns reflecting variations of the same stimulus but separate ...
