Brain responses to odor mixtures with sub-threshold components
Although most odorants we encounter in daily life are mixtures of several chemical substances, we still lack significant information on how we perceive and how the brain processes mixtures of odorants. We aimed to investigate the processing of odor mixtures using behavioral measures and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The odor mixture contained a target odor (ambroxan) in a concen...
متن کاملPsychometric functions for ternary odor mixtures and their unmixed components.
People are often able to reliably detect a mixture of 2 or more odorants, even if they cannot reliably detect the individual mixture components when presented individually. This phenomenon has been called mixture agonism. However, for some mixtures, agonism among mixture components is greater in barely detectable mixtures than in more easily detectable mixtures (level dependence). Most studies ...
متن کاملThe capacity of humans to identify components in complex odor-taste mixtures.
Despite the fact that humans experience mixtures of odors and tastes each time they eat, little is known of their capacity to detect the individual components of foods. To investigate this capacity, 43 subjects were trained to identify three odors and three tastes and were required to indicate which of these could be identified in stimuli consisting of one to six components. Although the odor a...
متن کاملSRAM Memory Components Operating at Sub-threshold Voltages
This paper compares the performance of the common 6T SRAM design and an improved 8T design in sub-threshold operation. Optimal parameters for the transistors are derived based on experimental data. The impact of process variation on SRAM’s performance and SNM are analyzed, together with redundancy as an alternative approach to reduce failure rate. Finally, in addition to bit-cells, various type...
متن کاملComponent information is preserved in glomerular responses to binary odor mixtures in the moth Spodoptera littoralis.
Natural odors are often complex mixtures of different compounds. These mixtures can be perceived to have qualities that are different from their components. Moreover, components can be difficult to distinguish within a blend, even if those components are identifiable when presented individually. Thus, odor components can interact along the olfactory pathway in a nonlinear fashion such that the ...
