Plants communicate via the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with many
animals as well as other plants. We still know little about how VOCs are perceived by …

Our knowledge regarding the neural processing of the three chemical senses has been
considerably lagging behind that of our other senses. It is only during the last 25 years that …

Algorithmic decision-making systems are increasingly used throughout the public and
private sectors to make important decisions or assist humans in making these decisions with …

How are sensory representations in the brain influenced by the state of an animal? Here we
use chronic two-photon calcium imaging to explore how wakefulness and experience shape …

The anterior olfactory nucleus (AON) is the initial recipient of odour information from the
olfactory bulb, and the target of dense innervation conveying spatiotemporal cues from the …

Olfaction is an important sensory modality for many species and greatly influences animal
and human behavior. Still, much about olfactory perception remains unknown. The anterior …

Ezzence is the first smartphone-controlled olfactometer designed for both day and night
conditions. We discuss the design and technical implementation of Ezzence and report on a …

Imagine smelling a novel perfume with only one nostril and then smelling it again with the
other nostril. Clearly, you can tell that it is the same perfume both times. This simple …

Habituation and dishabituation modulate the neural resources and behavioral significance
allocated to incoming stimuli across the sensory systems. We characterize these processes …

Most neurogenesis in the mammalian brain is completed embryonically, but in certain areas
the production of neurons continues throughout postnatal life. The functional properties of …
