Does olfactory memory depend on remembering odors?
The question mark in the title indicates that what follows is not a theory explaining odor memory, but a series of findings that question the traditional view of memory, in which acquisition and retrieval of ‘memory items’ dominate all questions asked. That such questions arise in an area that deals with odors is not surprising. Odors are the least palpable and most evanescent of stimuli. Odors...
متن کاملSniffing patterns uncover implicit memory for undetected odors
Consciously undetected events are represented at the sensory-motor level and in the neurons of sensory-motor control, for example, consciously undetected visual targets drive eye movements [1] and neural activity [2]. Olfaction offers an opportunity to investigate processing of undetected stimuli through measurements of the sniff-response: odorant-specific modulations of nasal airflow [3-6]. He...
متن کاملThe effects of normal aging on source memory for odors.
Source and item memory for olfactory stimuli were assessed in healthy older (65+) and young adults. During the study phase, a male and a female source presented 16 odors to each participant one at a time. Each source presented 8 odors to the participant. As a way to assess source memory, the participant was asked to indicate whether an odor from the study phase was presented by the male or fema...
متن کاملCombinatorial Receptor Codes for Odors
The discriminatory capacity of the mammalian olfactory system is such that thousands of volatile chemicals are perceived as having distinct odors. Here we used a combination of calcium imaging and single-cell RT-PCR to identify odorant receptors (ORs) for odorants with related structures but varied odors. We found that one OR recognizes multiple odorants and that one odorant is recognized by mu...
متن کاملThe Effects of Age & Apolipoprotein-e Genotype on Learning, Memory, and Metamemory for Odors
OF THE THESIS The Effects of Age & Apolipoprotein-E Genotype on Learning, Memory, and Metamemory for Odors by Jacquelyn Szajer Master of Arts in Psychology San Diego State University, 2014 Episodic memory (EM) is well known to decline with age, and is especially affected in Alzheimer‟s disease (AD). Notably, however, EM declines are heterogeneous even among individuals with AD, and research ind...
