Tractography indicates lateralized differences between trigeminal and olfactory pathways

open access: yesNeuroImage, 2022
Odorous sensations are based on trigeminal and olfactory perceptions. Both trigeminal and olfactory stimuli generate overlapping as well as distinctive activations in the olfactory cortex including the piriform cortex.

Smell and taste disorders in the UK: first experiences with a specialised smell and taste outpatient clinic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Olfactory dysfunction is common, affecting 1‐5% of those under the age of 60 1 and at least 20% of those aged more than 60 years. 2 In many UK centres, the approach to it is variable and routine olfactory testing is not performed, as noted by a recent ...

The Shape of the Olfactory Bulb Predicts Olfactory Function

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2022
The olfactory bulb (OB) plays a key role in the processing of olfactory information. A large body of research has shown that OB volumes correlate with olfactory function, which provides diagnostic and prognostic information in olfactory dysfunction ...

Food-Related Odors Activate Dopaminergic Brain Areas

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2017
Food-associated cues of different sensory categories have often been shown to be a potent elicitor of cerebral activity in brain reward circuits. Smells influence and modify the hedonic qualities of eating experience, and in contrast to smells not ...

Quantification of Allyl Methyl Sulfide, Allyl Methyl Sulfoxide, and Allyl Methyl Sulfone in Human Milk and Urine After Ingestion of Cooked and Roasted Garlic

open access: yesFrontiers in Nutrition, 2020
Due to its characteristic flavor and positive effects on human health, garlic is a highly valued food ingredient. Consumption of garlic alters the quality of body odors, which may in some instances hinder social interaction but be beneficial in other ...

Neural Processing of Odors with Different Well-Being Associations—Findings from Two Consecutive Neuroimaging Studies

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2023
Much is known about the effect of odors on mood, cognition and behavior, but little is known about the relationship between odors and well-being. We investigated the neural processing of odors with different degrees of association with well-being (WB ...

Measuring smells

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Neurobiology, 2008
Olfaction consists of a set of transforms from a physical space of odorant molecules, through a neural space of information processing, and into a perceptual space of smell. Elucidating the rules governing these transforms depends on establishing valid metrics for each of the three spaces.

Data-science based analysis of perceptual spaces of odors in olfactory loss

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Diminished sense of smell impairs the quality of life but olfactorily disabled people are hardly considered in measures of disability inclusion. We aimed to stratify perceptual characteristics and odors according to the extent to which they are perceived

Indistinguishable odour enantiomers: Differences between peripheral and central-nervous electrophysiological responses

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
The ability of humans to discriminate enantiomeric odour pairs is substance –specific. Current literature suggests that psychophysical discrimination of odour enantiomers mainly depends on the peripheral processing at the level of the olfactory sensory ...

Smelling objects [PDF]

open access: yesSynthese, 2017
Objects are central to perception and our interactions with the world. We perceive the world as parsed into discrete entities that instantiate particular properties, and these items capture our attention and shape how we interact with the environment. Recently there has been some debate about whether the sense of smell allows us to perceive odours as ...
