Olfaction has long been thought to be almost nonfunctional in human newborns and young
infants and thus virtually useless in their everyday lives. However, during the last decades …

The dietary choices a mother makes during pregnancy offer her developing fetus its earliest
exposure to the family's culinary preferences. This comprehensive literature review …

This study was aimed at characterizing the level of specificity of the human newborn's
response to an odor experienced in utero. Three groups of breast-fed infants and 3 groups …

The head‐orientation response of 2‐and 4‐day‐old breast‐feeding neonates was studied in
paired‐choice odor tests. Three tests were conducted on day 2 (amniotic fluid [AF] versus …

The initiai pattern and development of odour preference was studied in infants
simultaneously exposed to amniotic fluid (AF) and maternal lacteal secretion (L). Five …

It is a mammalian female strategy to emit odor cues and signals that direct their
inexperienced newborns to the nipple, and optimize their initial sucking success and, hence …

According to the “developmental origins of health and disease”(DOHaD) concept, maternal
obesity predisposes the offspring to non-communicable diseases in adulthood. While a …

Calcium‐activated chloride channels are involved in several physiological processes
including olfactory perception. TMEM16A and TMEM16B, members of the transmembrane …

Altricial mammals use olfaction long before the olfactory bulb has reached its anatomically
mature state. Indeed, while audition and vision are still not functional, the olfactory system of …
