A central concern in contemporary cognitive neuroscience is how stimulus information is
represented in the human central nervous system. One approach to this issue is to examine …

It has been hypothesized (Lynch 1986; Aboitiz et al. 2002; Montagnini and Treves 2003) that
the mammalian cortex initially evolved as an associative structure, allowing features of the …

Scientific advance is largely dependent on methodological and technological advance.
Neurobiology is currently experiencing a number of methodological advances of …

Over the last ten years, methods of cerebral imaging have revolutionized our knowledge of
cognitive processes in humans. An impressive number of papers dealing with cerebral …

This chapter focuses on central olfactory processing in the human brain. As the
psychophysiology of human olfactory function is important for appreciating its underlying …

The neural basis of olfactory information processing and olfactory percept formation is a
topic of intense investigation as new genetic, optical, and psychophysical tools are brought …

Learning more about the neural basis of olfactory cognition should greatly improve our
understanding of how different brain structures deal with information. Progress can be …

The concept of odor maps in the olfactory system can imply a precise one-to-one mapping
between the physicochemical stimulus, the central sensory representation of that stimulus …

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 …

The major problem in olfactory neuroscience is to determine how the brain discriminates
one odorant from another. The traditional approach involves identifying how particular …
