Retronasal and Oral-Cavity-Only Responses to TRPM8 Odorants
Retronasal (retro) and/or oral-cavity-only (OeD) smelling of vapor-phase agonists for the trigeminal chemoreceptive ion channel TRPM8 was studied. In a retro and OeD identification experiment. 1 of 6 previously practiced identifications (ID) was selected on a computer display under forced-choice conditions. Analyses of variance (ANOV A) found differences across odorants and retro and OeD. and f...
متن کاملSuperior Orthonasal but Not Retronasal Olfactory Skills in Congenital Blindness
Sight is undoubtedly important for finding and appreciating food, and cooking. Blind individuals are strongly impaired in finding food, limiting the variety of flavours they are exposed to. We have shown before that compared to sighted controls, congenitally blind individuals have enhanced olfactory but reduced taste perception. In this study we tested the hypothesis that congenitally blind sub...
متن کاملRetronasal odor representations in the dorsal olfactory bulb of rats.
Animals perceive their olfactory environment not only from odors originating in the external world (orthonasal route) but also from odors released in the oral cavity while eating food (retronasal route). Retronasal olfaction is crucial for the perception of food flavor in humans. However, little is known about the retronasal stimulus coding in the brain. The most basic questions are if and how ...
متن کاملOlfactory receptor antagonism between odorants.
The detection of thousands of volatile odorants is mediated by several hundreds of different G protein-coupled olfactory receptors (ORs). The main strategy in encoding odorant identities is a combinatorial receptor code scheme in that different odorants are recognized by different sets of ORs. Despite increasing information on agonist-OR combinations, little is known about the antagonism of ORs...
متن کاملColor enhances orthonasal olfactory intensity and reduces retronasal olfactory intensity.
The effect of color on orthonasal and retronasal odor intensities was investigated. When odorants were smelled orthonasally (i.e., through the nostrils), color enhanced odor intensity ratings, consistent with previous reports. However, when odorants were smelled retronasally (i.e., the odorous solution was put in the mouth), color reduced odor intensity ratings. These different effects of color...
