Smelling monomolecular odors hardly ever occurs in everyday life, and the daily functioning
of the sense of smell relies primarily on the processing of complex mixtures of volatiles that …

The olfactory system is faced with a particular problem–the high dimensionality and inherent
unpredictability of the chemical world. Most natural odorants encountered in everyday life …

Written by a neurobiologist and a psychologist, this volume presents a new theory of
olfactory perception. Drawing on research in neuroscience, physiology, and ethology …

In odorant-rich environments, animals must be able to detect specific odorants of interest
against variable backgrounds. However, studies have found that both humans and rodents …

The training of scent detection dogs using samples of explosives or their chemical
precursors is a well-established and documented practice. However an area of canine odor …

Using a conditioning paradigm, the olfactory sensitivity of three squirrel monkeys to nine
odorants representing different chemical classes as well as members of a homologous …

Using the training procedure introduced by von Frisch in 1919, we tested the ability of free-
flying honeybees to discriminate a conditioning odor from an array of 44 simultaneously …

Most odours are complex mixtures. However, the capacities of olfactory sensory neurons
(OSNs) to process complex odour stimuli have never been explored in air‐breathing …

A targeted approach using HS-SPME-GC-MS was performed to compare flavour
compounds of 'Navelina'and 'Salustiana'orange cultivars from organic and conventional …
