The mammalian olfactory system mediates various responses, including aversive
behaviours to spoiled foods and fear responses to predator odours. In the olfactory bulb …

Written by a neurobiologist and a psychologist, this volume presents a new theory of
olfactory perception. Drawing on research in neuroscience, physiology, and ethology …

Although the functional significance of adult neurogenesis in hippocampal-dependent
learning and memory has been well documented, the role of such neurogenesis in olfactory …

Memories are dynamic physical phenomena with psychometric forms as well as
characteristic timescales. Most of our understanding of the cellular mechanisms underlying …

The vomeronasal organ (VNO) is a chemosensory subsystem found in the nose of most
mammals. It is principally tasked with detecting pheromones and other chemical signals that …

We calculated visual ability in 13 strains of mice (129SI/Sv1mJ, A/J, AKR/J, BALB/cByJ,
C3H/HeJ, C57BL/6J, CAST/EiJ, DBA/2J, FVB/NJ, MOLF/EiJ, SJL/J, SM/J, and SPRET/EiJ) …

In many regions of the adult mammalian brain, pronounced changes in synaptic input
caused by lesions or severe sensory deprivation induce marked sprouting or retraction of …

Applied ethology has traditionally focused on farm animal species, whereas there has been
much less research directed at understanding the behaviour of laboratory animals in relation …

The DBA/2J mouse is a model of age-related pigmentary glaucoma in humans. Visual
detection, pattern discrimination and visual acuity were evaluated in DBA/2J, C57BL/6J, B6 …
