The sense of smell is a complex process of the central nervous system that involves specific areas of the brain. In fact, olfactory dysfunction is seen in various central nervous system disorders that ...
Animals depend on their sense of smell to locate food, identify mates and evade danger. In mammals, olfactory perception typically relies on G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR) pathways. Insects, by ...
NIMS has been developing chemical sensors as a key component of artificial olfaction technology (olfactory sensors), with the aim of putting this technology into practical use. In a new study, ...
As mammals with large brains, humans experience smell as a powerful sensory experience that’s closely linked with memory. The ...
The process of olfaction remains one of the most intriguing sensory systems in biology, with recent advances invigorating debate over the mechanisms by which organisms detect and discriminate chemical ...
Scientists uncover how Alzheimer’s steals your sense of smell A loss of smell can be one of the earliest warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease, but the reasons behind this sensory change have been ...
Visualization of the odor discrimination process by an XAI-assisted olfactory sensor. Depending on the odorant molecule, the AI identifies the most responsive receptor materials and highlights the key ...
