Although the view that women's olfactory abilities outperform men's is taken for granted,
some studies involving large samples suggested that male and female olfactory abilities are …

Background: Olfactory dysfunction is an increasingly recognised condition, associated with
reduced quality of life and major health outcomes such as neurodegeneration and death …

Humans use a family of more than 400 olfactory receptors (ORs) to detect odors, but there is
currently no model that can predict olfactory perception from receptor activity patterns …

The chemosensory capacity of the somatosensory system relies on the appropriate
expression of chemoreceptors, which detect chemical stimuli and transduce sensory …

Sensory capacities like smell, taste, hearing, vision decline with aging, but increasing
evidence show that sensory dysfunctions are one of the early signs diagnosing the …

Background Olfaction is a versatile sensory mechanism for detecting thousands of volatile
odorants. Although molecular basis of odorant signaling is relatively well understood …

Abstract Background Alpaca (Vicugna pacos), llama (Lama glama), vicugna (Vicugna
vicugna) and guanaco (Lama guanicoe), are the camelid species distributed over the …

Among all the senses, olfactory system of mammals is the least characterised as far as the
mechanisms of odour identification are concerned. The results of recent investigations allow …

Furanones formed during the Maillard reaction often are natural aroma-determining
compounds found in numerous foods. Prominent economically relevant representatives are …

The mammalian olfactory system displays species-specific adaptations to different
ecological niches. To investigate the evolutionary dynamics of olfactory sensory neuron …
