Fossils of mammals and their extinct relatives among cynodonts give evidence of correlated
transformations affecting olfaction as well as mastication, head movement, and ventilation …

Flavor perception is a highly individual sensation, and is impacted by a number of factors.
Olfaction is a critical element in fully experiencing flavor. In this review, we explore the …

Phylonyms is an implementation of PhyloCode, which is a set of principles, rules, and

A growing body of literature has demonstrated that primary sensory cortices are not
exclusively unimodal, but can respond to stimuli of different sensory modalities. However …

The orbitofrontal cortex receives multi-modality sensory inputs, including olfactory input, and
is thought to be involved in conscious perception of the olfactory image of objects …

Serotonin (5-hydroxytriptamine; 5-HT) is implicated in a variety of brain functions including

The peripheral structures of mammalian sensory organs often serve to support their
functionality, such as alignment of hair cells to the mechanical properties of the inner ear …

Rodents can discriminate odors in one breath, and mammalian olfaction research has thus
focused on the first breath. However, sensory representations dynamically change during …
