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 …

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 …

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) …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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

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 …

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

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 …
