Natural odors, generally composed of many monomolecular components, are analyzed by
peripheral receptors into component features and translated into spatiotemporal patterns of …

A working hypothesis is proposed for piriform cortex (PC) and other olfactory cortical areas
that redefines the traditional functional roles as follows: the olfactory bulb serves as the …

It is widely recognized that the neural basis of brain function can be fully understood only by
integrating many disciplines at many levels. Studies of synaptic organization are bringing …

Abstract [This book] presents the insights of more than 3 decades of empirical research on
the neural processes by which memory is formed, stored, and retrieved. Fuster focuses …

The sense of smell is typically thought of as a'slow'sense, but the true temporal constraints
on the accuracy of olfactory perception are not known. It has been proposed that animals …

Pattern analysis constitutes a critical building block in the development of gas sensor array
instruments capable of detecting, identifying, and measuring volatile compounds, a …

The connections between the olfactory bulb, primary olfactory cortex, and olfactory related
areas of the orbital cortex were defined in macaque monkeys with a combination of …

There is considerable evidence that the hippocampal system contributes both to (1) the
temporary maintenance of memories and to (2) the processing of a particular type of memory …

A personal diagnostic patch device for biological analysis includes a sample acquisition
layer for obtaining a fluid sample, a fluidic processing layer including a fluidic circuit for …

Neuromodulators including acetylcholine, norepinephrine, serotonin, dopamine and a range
of peptides alter the processing characteristics of cortical networks through effects on …
