Odor discrimination is immune to the effects of verbal labels
For many odors that we encounter in daily life, we perceive their qualities without being able to specifically identify their sources—an experience...

Odor Discrimination after Olfactory Conditioning of Managed Solitary Bees, Osmia Lignaria and Megachile Rotundata
Sensory abilities and cognitive processes for honey bees, bumble bees, and stingless bees have been demonstrated through conditioning experiments...

Orthonasal and retronasal odor identification in patients with parosmia
ObjectiveTo compare retronasal and orthonasal perception in parosmic COVID-19 patients, in order to determine whether COVID-19 has a differential...

Flies maintain idiosyncratic learning proficiency across odor-discrimination tasks
Although insects of a same species appear similar when seen through human eyes, they exhibit considerable differences in behavioral performances,...

This or not that: select and reject control of relational responding in rats using a blank comparison procedure with odor stimuli
The blank comparison (BLC) task was developed to assess stimulus relations in discrimination learning; that is, are subjects learning to “select” the...
-
Social odor choice buffers drug craving
Social interactions are rewarding and protective against substance use disorders, but it is unclear which specific aspect of the complex sensory...

Distinct forms of structural plasticity of adult-born interneuron spines in the mouse olfactory bulb induced by different odor learning paradigms
The morpho-functional properties of neural networks constantly adapt in response to environmental stimuli. The olfactory bulb is particularly prone...

Horses discriminate human body odors between fear and joy contexts in a habituation-discrimination protocol
Animals are widely believed to sense human emotions through smell. Chemoreception is the most primitive and ubiquitous sense, and brain regions...

Odor identification score as an alternative method for early identification of amyloidogenesis in Alzheimer’s disease
A simple screening test to identify the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is urgently needed. We investigated whether odor identification...

Nucleus accumbens core dopamine D2 receptors are required for performance of the odor span task in male rats
RationaleThe nucleus accumbens (NAc) core gates motivationally relevant behavioral action sequences through afferents from cortical and subcortical...

High-precision map** reveals the structure of odor coding in the human brain
Odor perception is inherently subjective. Previous work has shown that odorous molecules evoke distributed activity patterns in olfactory cortices,...
-
The relationship of personality, alexithymia, anxiety symptoms, and odor awareness: a mediation analysis
ObjectivePersonality, emotions, and olfaction exhibit partial anatomical overlap in the limbic system structure, establishing potential mechanisms...
-
Odor-regulated oviposition behavior in an ecological specialist
Colonization of a novel ecological niche can require, or be driven by, evolution of an animal’s behaviors promoting their reproductive success. We...

Effects of Gender and Age on Self-reported Odor Imagery Ability
IntroductionOdor imagery is known to be more difficult than any other modality of sensory imagery. Consequently, wide between-individuals variability...

Female BALB/c Mice Prefer the Odor of Mates Producing Fewer Progeny
AbstractMate choice is the very important part of sexual selection. It is known that free mate choice is to provide the most viable offspring are...
-
Olfactory function and discrimination ability in the elderly: a pilot study
We recently reported that subjects with a higher olfactory identification threshold for rose odor declined more in attentional ability in the...

A Gull Species Recognizes MHC-II Diversity and Dissimilarity Using Odor Cues
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) plays a crucial role in the resistance to parasites in vertebrates and is thus often suggested to be an...

Effect of membrane properties on the odor emanating from training aids for explosive-detecting canines
Canines are widely used for real-time detection of explosives and have proven to be on par with instrumental methods. Canines are thought to rely...

The circadian clock in the piriform cortex intrinsically tunes daily changes of odor-evoked neural activity
The daily activity in the brain is typically fine-tuned by the circadian clock in the local neurons as well as by the master circadian clock in the...
