The biological olfactory system is the sensory system responsible for the detection of the
chemical composition of the environment. Several attempts to mimic biological olfactory …

Natural odors, generally composed of many monomolecular components, are analyzed by
peripheral receptors into component features and translated into spatiotemporal patterns of …

Olfactory deficits are present in numerous neurodegenerative disorders and are
accompanied by pathology in related brain regions. In several of these disorders, olfactory …

Of the many conceptual distinctions present in psychology today, the approach-avoidance
distinction stands out as one of, if not the, most fundamental and basic. The distinction …

Flavour perception is one of the most complex of human behaviours. It involves almost all of
the senses, particularly the sense of smell, which is involved through odour images …

In terrestrial vertebrates, sniffing controls odorant access to receptors, and therefore sets the
timescale of olfactory stimuli. We found that odorants evoked precisely sniff-locked activity in …

The ability to represent both stimulus identity and intensity is fundamental for perception.
Using large-scale population recordings in awake mice, we find distinct coding strategies …

Most sensory systems are primarily specialized to detect one sensory modality. Here we
report that olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) in the mammalian nose can detect two distinct …

Most sensory stimuli are actively sampled, yet the role of sampling behavior in shaping
sensory codes is poorly understood. Mammals sample odors by sniffing, a complex behavior …

Input from olfactory receptor neurons is first organized and processed in the glomerular layer
of the olfactory bulb. Olfactory glomeruli serve as functional units in coding olfactory …
