Olfaction.
The main and accessory olfactory systems have received considerable attention on the part of scientists and clinicians during the last decade, largely because of (a) quantum advances in understanding their genetically expressed receptor mechanisms, (b) evidence that their receptor cells undergo neurogenesis and both programmed and induced cell death, and (c) important technical and practical de...
متن کاملOlfaction and essential tremor.
OBJECTIVE To characterize the olfactory identification in 40 essential tremor (ET) patients, with the University of Pennsylvania 12 Smell Identification Test (UPSIT), to correlate UPSIT scores to clinical and epidemiological data and to compare it to 89 aged matched controls. METHOD Patients were assessed using ET Clinical Scale of Evaluation and UPSIT. RESULTS In patients with ET, the UPSI...
متن کاملOlfaction: Scents and sensibility
Expression of a receptor protein has, for the first time, been definitively correlated with sensitivity to a particular odorant. This receptor, expressed in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, appears to be distinct from the putative vertebrate odorant receptors.
متن کاملAversion and Attraction through Olfaction
Sensory cues that predict reward or punishment are fundamental drivers of animal behavior. For example, attractive odors of palatable food or a potential mate predict reward, while aversive odors of pathogen-laced food or a predator predict punishment. Aversive and attractive odors can be detected by intermingled sensory neurons that express highly related olfactory receptors and display simila...
متن کاملAnalysis and Synthesis in Olfaction
Natural environments contain numerous volatile compounds emanating from a large number of sources, and the survival of many animals depends on their ability to segregate odors of interest within complex odorous scenes. In a recent paper, we described how the ability of mice to detect odors within mixtures depends on the chemical structure and neural representation of the target and background o...
