In brief, the study revealed that the size of each of the three components of the neural network for
olfaction scales about the same for each species, starting with receptors in the nose that transmit signals to a cluster of neurons in the front of the brain called the olfactory bulb which, in turn, relayed the signals to a "higher functioning" region for odor identification called the piriform cortex.
Denso, a mobility supplier, has joined the Digital
Olfaction Automotive Consortium (DOAC) as a founding member.
Though specific to
olfaction, the researchers' findings could have implications for other areas of biology in which inter-chromosome interactions play a role.
According to Rozin, whereas orthonasal
olfaction integrates with the external world, retronasal
olfaction reflects the inner world (7).
"This is a remarkable transfer of information via
olfaction that specifically alters physiology and could play a role in disease transfer among individuals in many species."
Eighty percent of the flavors we perceive result from
olfaction, which refers to the sense of smell.
There has been little study of chemosensory perception for stimuli presented to
olfaction or taste, or of gustatory-olfactory interactions underlying flavor perception (Spence, 2015; Welge-Lussen, Husner, Wolfensberger, & Hummel, 2009).

Among their topics are the visual system: the eye, color perception, depth and size perception, the auditory brain and sound localization, touch and pain, and
olfaction and taste.
A recent study published in Current Biology has an intriguing title: 'Hunter-Gatherer
Olfaction is Special.' It is authored by
On Wednesday, February 7 from 2:30-4:30 pm, Saskia Wilson-Brown, founder and executive director, The Institute for Art &
Olfaction will lead a hands-on workshop that is ideal for any brand looking to add
olfaction elements to its products.
A scratch and sniff test that asks subjects to identify 40 odors and ranks
olfaction is almost as powerful as a predictor of Alzheimer's disease is a positive test of amyloid.
While there were general similarities among regions for some attributes, like the floral "linalool" attribute in orthonasal
olfaction, considerable variation was found among wines, with green apple most typical for Rheingau Rieslings and peach, caramel and tropical notes more indicative of Riesling from Pfalz.
The total BSIT
olfaction score indicates how many of the 12 odorants a patient correctly identifies.
They believe an experiment on shearwaters in the Mediterranean answers the complex question which zoologists have debated for decades, with arguments over whether they relied on the Earth's magnetic field or their
olfaction when flying long distances over featureless water.
