Objective To understand the available evidence of how children and adults differ in their
preferences for flavours that may be used in tobacco products. Data sources A total of 474 …

One major unresolved problem in olfaction research is to relate the percept to the molecular
structure of stimuli. The present study examined this issue and showed for the first time a …

Atypical sensory functioning in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has been well documented
in the last decade for the visual, tactile and auditory systems, but olfaction in ASD is still …

A major component of perception is hedonic valence: perceiving stimuli as pleasant or
unpleasant. Here, we used early olfactory experiences that shape odor preferences and …

Human olfactory perception can be measured using psychophysical tools or more complex
odor generating devices systems, namely olfactometers. The present paper is aimed at …

Olfaction is characterized by a salient hedonic dimension. Previous studies have shown that
these affective responses to odors are modulated by physicochemical, physiological, and …

Background Odor hedonic perception relies on decoding the physicochemical properties of
odorant molecules and can be influenced in humans by semantic knowledge. The effect of …

Odor names refer usually to “source” object categories. For example, the smell of rose is
often described with its source category (flower). However, linguistic studies suggest that …

The LCOT is a self‐administered test designed to assess olfactory deficits. Altogether, 525
subjects contributed to the validation. Elderly participants were well represented in this …

Although the brain structures involved in integrating odorant and trigeminal stimuli are well-
documented, there is still a need to clarify (1) how emotional response is represented in the …
