One of the brain's key roles is to facilitate foraging and feeding. It is presumably no
coincidence, then, that the mouth is situated close to the brain in most animal species …

Fleshy fruits have evolved multiple times and display a tremendous diversity of colours,
shapes, aromas and textures. For over a century this was attributed, at least in part, to …

Food selection is primarily guided by the visual system. Multiple functional neuro-imaging
studies have examined the brain responses to visual food stimuli. However, the results of …

People struggle to name odors [1–4]. This has been attributed to a diminution of olfaction in
trade-off to vision [5–10]. This presumption has been challenged recently by data from the …

Objective The purpose of this study was to compare the results of the three food‐cue
paradigms most commonly used for functional neuroimaging studies to determine: i) …

Odor molecules in the environment are detected by olfactory receptors (ORs), being
encoded by a large multigene family in mammalian genomes. It is generally thought that …

Maximizing rewards per unit time is ideal for success and survival in humans and animals.
This goal can be approached by speeding up behavior aiming at rewards and this is done …

Abstract The Dispersal Syndrome hypothesis remains contentious, stating that apparently
nonrandom associations of fruit characteristics result from selection by seed dispersers. We …

Olfaction, the sense of smell, was a latecomer to the systematic investigation of primate
sensory ecology after long years in which it was considered to be of minor importance. This …

Twenty years ago, Dominy and colleagues published “The sensory ecology of primate food
perception,” an impactful review that brought new perspectives to understanding primate …
