Fluid turbulence is a double-edged sword for the navigation of macroscopic animals, such
as birds, insects, and rodents. On the one hand, turbulence enables pheromone …

The biological olfactory system is the sensory system responsible for the detection of the
chemical composition of the environment. Several attempts to mimic biological olfactory …

The olfactory system is at the crossroad between sensory processing and metabolic
sensing. In addition to being the center of detection and identification of food odors, it is a …

Musk was originally identified in male musk deer and other mammals to mark territories and
attract females. In humans, musk compounds are widely used in perfumes and consumer …

Background Wine flavour has been methodically studied since the beginning of sensory
research, with various purposes relating to product quality and consumer preferences …

The sense of smell helps us navigate the environment, but its molecular architecture and
underlying logic remain understudied. The spatial location of odorant receptor genes (Olfrs) …

Here, we present the first analysis of the connectome of a small volume of the Octopus
vulgaris vertical lobe (VL), a brain structure mediating the acquisition of long-term memory in …

Although evolvability of genes and traits may promote specialization during species
diversification, how ecology subsequently restricts such variation remains unclear …

Each organism must regulate its internal state in a metabolically efficient way as it interacts
in space and time with an ever-changing and only partly predictable world. Success in this …

This work presents a general chemical reaction network theory for olfactory sensing
processes that employ G-protein-coupled receptors as olfactory receptors (ORs). The theory …
