Olfactory perception depends not only on olfactory inputs but also on semantic context.
Although multi‐voxel activity patterns of the piriform cortex, a part of the primary olfactory …

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) …

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 …

Although it is known that visual imagery is accompanied by activity in visual cortical areas,
including primary visual cortex, whether olfactory imagery exists remains controversial. Here …

Identification of an object based on its odor alone is inherently difficult, but becomes easier
when other senses provide supporting cues. This suggests that crossmodal sensory input …

The human olfactory system has two discrete channels of sensory input, arising from
olfactory epithelia housed in the left and right nostrils. Here, we asked whether primary …

What we perceive in the olfactory world is different from what odor molecules are in the air.
With hundreds or even thousands of aerosolized molecules present in any single …

The majority of existing functional MRI studies on olfactory perception have addressed the
relationship between stimulus features and the intensity of activity in separate regions …

Odor perception is inherently subjective. Previous work has shown that odorous molecules
evoke distributed activity patterns in olfactory cortices, but how these patterns map on to …
