Physical Variables in the Olfactory Stimulation Process

Electrical recording from small twigs of nerve in a tortoise showed that olfactory, vomeronasal, and trigeminal receptors in the nose are responsive to various odorants. No one kind of receptor was most sensitive to all odorants. For controlled stimulation, odorant was caused to appear in a stream of gas already flowing through the nose. Of the parameters definable at the naris, temperature, re...

Olfactory stimulation variables. Which model best predicts the olfactory nerve response?

Mozell et al. (1984. J. Gen. Physiol. 83:233-267) have examined the traditional manner in which olfactory stimulus-response relationships have been addressed. They developed a model that describes the olfactory nerve response as a function of three factors, viz., the number of odorant molecules (N), the stimulus duration (T), and the stimulus volume (V). In addition, two models derived from thi...

A parametric study of the stimulation variables affecting the magnitude of the olfactory nerve response

The magnitude of olfactory responses can be related to three primary variables [number of odorant molecules (N), sniff volume (V), and sniff duration (T)] and three derived variables [concentration (C = N/V), flow rate (F = V/T), and delivery rate (D = N/T)]. To evaluate the effects of these interdependent variables upon the olfactory response, the summated multiunit discharges were recorded fr...

The olfactory experience: constants and cultural variables.

Odor and olfaction anthropology explores four lines of research which, in many cases, may overlap: the variability of the olfactory perception, olfactory skills and know-how, odor use, and odor representations. My proposal here is to deal with the first one, trying to answer the following question: is olfactory perception a phenomenon resulting solely from the biological organization of the hum...

Olfactory-like Responses in Pyriform Area to Non-Olfactory Stimulation *

Considerable doubt continues to exist about the r6le of finely myelinated and unmyelinatedt visceral afferents in the function of the cerebral cortex. Recent evoked potential studies involving stimulation of the chorda tympani, "" the vagus, 7l and the splanchnic nerves' have failed to establish that impulses transmitted along the slow-conductingt components of these nerves reach the cortex. It...
