Semantic Knowledge Influences Prewired Hedonic Responses to Odors
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 semantic knowledge on such prewired hedonic processing over the life span has remained unclear. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS The present study measured hedonic response to odors in different age groups (children, teena...
متن کاملOdor-identity dependent motor programs underlie behavioral responses to odors
All animals use olfactory information to perform tasks essential to their survival. Odors typically activate multiple olfactory receptor neuron (ORN) classes and are therefore represented by the patterns of active ORNs. How the patterns of active ORN classes are decoded to drive behavior is under intense investigation. In this study, using Drosophila as a model system, we investigate the logic ...
متن کاملOlfactory Bulb Responses To A Sequence Of Odors
The sense of smell is an important to both humans and animals. The olfactory system, which senses and processes odors, is one of the oldest and most important parts of the brain. The olfactory bulb aids in discriminating and identifying different odors. It receives all the chemical sensory information from the olfactory epithelium, processes the information in the intermediate layers (which con...
متن کاملFree-flight responses of Drosophila melanogaster to attractive odors.
Many motile organisms localize the source of attractive odorants by following plumes upwind. In the case of D. melanogaster, little is known of how individuals alter their flight trajectories after encountering and losing a plume of an attractive odorant. We have characterized the three-dimensional flight behavior of D. melanogaster in a wind tunnel under a variety of odor conditions. In the ab...
متن کاملResponses to odors mapped in snail tentacle and brain by [14C]-2-deoxyglucose autoradiography.
The method of 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG) autoradiography has been widely used to map functional neuronal systems in vertebrates, but in invertebrate species, where morphological dimensions favor its use, the applications have been minimal. This study uses [14C]-2-DG to map the olfactory system of a terrestrial snail, Achatina fulica. The olfactory organ in the snail's tentacles bears a striking rese...
