Why sniff fast? The relationship between sniff frequency, odor discrimination, and receptor neuron activation in the rat.
Many mammals display brief bouts of high-frequency (4-10 Hz) sniffing when sampling odors. Given this, high-frequency sniffing is thought to play an important role in odor information processing. Here, we asked what role rapid sampling behavior plays in odor coding and odor discrimination by monitoring sniffing during performance of discrimination tasks under different paradigms and across diff...

متن کاملNovel DNA–Dye Hybrids Sniff out Odors
0001 Combinatorial diversity is the central feature of DNA. Because each nucleotide position within the molecule can be occupied by any one of four bases, there are 42 possible dinucleotides (“2mers”), 43 possible trinucleotides (“3mers”), and so on; by the time we reach 21 nucleotides, there are over a trillion possible “21mers,” each with a unique sequence. But the order of bases is not the o...
متن کاملOdor Memories: The First Sniff Counts
A new study which combined associative memory tests with functional magnetic resonance imaging of the brain has identified a potential neural correlate of the special association that is formed when an odor is first paired with a visual object. Odor memories in humans are likely to be processed by a separate memory system with distinctive features that make odor memories different from visual o...
متن کاملCharacterization of the sniff magnitude test.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the potential utility of the Sniff Magnitude Test (SMT) as a clinical measure of olfactory function. DESIGN Between-subject designs were used to compare the SMT and University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT) in study participants from a broad range of ages. SUBJECTS A total of 361 individuals from retirement communities and an urban university and pat...
