Olfaction, often overlooked in cultural heritage studies, holds profound significance in shaping human experiences and identities. Examining historical depictions of olfactory scenes can offer valuable insights into the role of smells in history. We...
crocodiles use olfaction in the egg prior to hatching. Chemoreception in crocodiles is especially interesting because they hunt in both terrestrial and aquatic
Latest findings suggest we can detect over one trillion smells! We can only detect about 7.5 million colors. Humans have about 5–10 million OSNs. Dogs have 100 times more OSNs and more of their …
This page explains that human smell involves sensory receptors in the olfactory epithelium, where odorant molecules interact with receptors on sensory neuron cilia. This interaction activates a …
Feb 6, 2025 · The sense of smell, known as olfaction, is a specialized sensory function allowing for the detection and interpretation of odors.
Apr 28, 2025 · Olfaction is one of our most powerful senses. Our sense of smell can ignite memories as well as influence our mood and behavior. Our sense of smell is a complex process that depends on …
Olfaction, or the sense of smell, is the special sense associated with receptors in the nasal cavity. The olfactory epithelium contains bipolar neurons with receptors in the nasal mucus.
The sense of smell, or olfaction, [nb 1] is the special sense through which smells (or odors) are perceived. [2] The sense of smell has many functions, including detecting desirable foods, hazards, …

Advances in neural sensing technology are making it possible to observe the olfactory process in great detail. In this paper, we conceptualize smell from a Data Science and AI perspective, that relates the properties of odorants to how they are sense...

learning, satiety, and decision making. Areas of interest include how olfaction contributes to flavor, food addiction and obesity, taste preferences,
Despite extraordinary progress in artificial intelligence (AI), modern systems remain incomplete representations of human cognition. Vision, audition, and language have received disproportionate attention due to well-defined benchmarks, standardized...

Inelastic electron transfer being regarded as one of the potential mechanisms to explain the odorant recognition in the atomic-scale processes is still a matter of intense debate. Here, we propose multiphonon processes of electrons transfer using the...

The sense of smell is an important part of living organisms. It assists with the interaction of the living organism with its environment. The mechanism by which smell is detected and identified is not fully known. Earlier, shape theory was proposed a...
The standard model for molecular recognition of an odorant is that receptor sites discriminate by molecular geometry as evidenced that two chiral molecules may smell very differently. However, recent studies of isotopically labeled olfactants indicat...
