Smellmap: Amsterdam – Olfactory Art & Smell Visualisation
Creating a smellmap of a city is a collaborative exercise. During a series of smellwalks, local participants identify distinct aromas emanating from specific locations and record the description, expectation, intensity, personal association, and reaction. I then analyse this data, along with conversations arising from the walks, and select a set of smells that convey the smellscape of the city ...
متن کاملA possible mechanism for ezrin to establish epithelial cell polarity.
Ezrin is an important membrane/actin cytoskeleton linker protein, especially in epithelia. Ezrin has two important binding domains: an NH(2)-terminal region that binds to plasma membrane and a COOH-terminal region that binds to F-actin only after a conformational activation by phosphorylation at Thr567 of ezrin. The present experiments were undertaken to investigate the detailed cellular change...
متن کاملSMELL-S and SMELL-R: Olfactory tests not influenced by odor-specific insensitivity or prior olfactory experience.
Smell dysfunction is a common and underdiagnosed medical condition that can have serious consequences. It is also an early biomarker of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, where olfactory deficits precede detectable memory loss. Clinical tests that evaluate the sense of smell face two major challenges. First, human sensitivity to individual odorants varies significantly, ...
متن کاملSense of smell: recognition and transduction of olfactory signals.
The primary processes in odour perception, i.e. recognition and transduction of olfactory stimuli, are mediated by the chemosensory olfactory neurons. Interaction of odorous compounds with suitable receptor proteins in the membrane of a subset of cells elicits chemo-electrical transduction pathways, including second messenger cascades and ion channels, that modulate the excitability of the sens...
