Anosmia and hyposmia, the inability or decreased ability to smell, is estimated to afflict 3–
20% of the population. Risk of olfactory dysfunction increases with old age and may also …

Olfaction is often referred to as a multidimensional sense. It is multidimensional in that∼
1000 different receptor types, each tuned to particular odor aspects, together contribute to …

Human olfactory perception differs enormously between individuals, with large reported
perceptual variations in the intensity and pleasantness of a given odour. For instance …

The New York Times–bestselling author provides an “entertaining” look at how artists
enlighten us about the workings of the brain (New York magazine). In this book, the author of …

Paradoxically, although humans have a superb sense of smell, they don't trust their nose.
Furthermore, although human odorant detection thresholds are very low, only unusually …

The testosterone derivative 4, 16-androstadien-3-one (AND) and the estrogen-like steroid
estra-1, 3, 5 (10), 16-tetraen-3-ol (EST) are candidate compounds for human pheromones …

The progesterone derivative 4, 16-androstadien-3-one (AND) and the estrogen-like steroid
estra-1, 3, 5, 16-tetraen-3-ol (EST) are candidate compounds for human pheromones. In …

Repeated exposure to odors modifies olfactory function. Consequently,“olfactory training”
plays a significant role in hyposmia treatment. In addition, numerous studies show that the …

The plasticity of brain function, especially reorganization after stroke or sensory loss, has
been investigated extensively. Based upon its special characteristics, the olfactory system …

While recent studies suggest an important role of higher order olfactory brain areas for basic
olfactory performance, the extent to which cortical and peripheral neural markers account for …
