The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of age on cerebral correlates of
olfactory induced negative emotions. We investigated 15 healthy women (aged 21–47) in a …

Emotion regulation is defined as an important mechanism for human adaptation. fMRI
studies have recently highlighted its neural bases but most research uses visual stimulation …

Given the strong relationship between human olfaction and emotion, it is not surprising that
numerous studies have investigated human response to hedonic and arousing qualities of …

Research suggests that transient emotional episodes produces sustained effects on
psychological functions and brain activity during subsequent resting state. In this fMRI study …

Studies of patients with focal brain injury indicate that smell perception involves caudal
orbitofrontal and medial temporal cortices, but a more precise functional organization has …

We showed how cognitive, semantic information modulates olfactory representations in the
brain by providing a visual word descriptor," cheddar cheese" or" body odor," during the …

Emotional processing evolved within brain structures that were originally dedicated to
olfactory function. Reduced olfactory function, absence of the olfactory bulb and the …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Odors can elicit a range of behaviors and emotions. Our
purpose was to identify regional activation of the human cerebral cortex in response to …

Purpose: Our goal was to use functional MRI (fMRI) to measure brain activation in response
to imagination of odors in humans. Method: fMR brain scans were obtained in 21 normal …

The influence of emotion on cognition plays an important role in people's everyday life as
well as in psychiatric and neurological disorders. The present study used fMRI to examine …
