The hedonic and social dimensions of olfactory perception are characterized by a great
diversity across people. Whereas the cerebral processing underlying these aspects of odor …

Intro The human sense of smell is highly individual and characterized by a strong variability
in the perception and evaluation of olfactory stimuli, depending on cultural imprint and …

What is known as an odor object is an integrated representation constructed from physical
features, and perceptual attributes mainly mediated by the olfactory and trigeminal systems …

Humans routinely make judgments about olfactory stimuli. However, few studies have
examined the functional neuroanatomy underlying the cognitive operations involved in such …

Studies of patients with focal brain injury indicate that smell perception involves caudal
orbitofrontal and medial temporal cortices, but a more precise functional organization has …

An important challenge in olfaction research is to understand how percepts relate to the
molecular structure of stimuli. Previous psychophysical studies showed that, whereas …

Neuronal oscillations route external and internal information across brain regions. In the
olfactory system, the two central nodes—the olfactory bulb (OB) and the piriform cortex (PC) …

A growing body of research aims at solving what is often referred to as the stimulus-percept
problem in olfactory perception. Although computational efforts have made it possible to …

Abstract 'Super smellers 'are those individuals who show a heightened sense of smell. Data
on the structural neuroanatomy of this phenomenon are still missing. A voxel-based …

Given the strong relationship between human olfaction and emotion, it is not surprising that
numerous studies have investigated human response to hedonic and arousing qualities of …
