Individuals with mutations in a single copy of the SHANK3 gene present with social
interaction deficits. Although social behavior in mice depends on olfaction, mice with …

Rodents can learn from exposure to rewarding odors to make better and quicker decisions.
The piriform cortex is thought to be important for learning complex odor associations; …

Relevant odors signaling food, mates, or predators can be masked by unpredictable
mixtures of less relevant background odors. Here, we developed a mouse behavioral …

The olfactory bulb (OB) is a critical component of mammalian olfactory neuroanatomy.
Beyond being the first and sole relay station for olfactory information to the rest of the brain, it …

Within a single sniff, the mammalian olfactory system can decode the identity and
concentration of odorants wafted on turbulent plumes of air. Yet, it must do so given access …

Recognizing the disease-specific odor in human breath is a feasible non-invasive disease
detection strategy. The most critical issue of olfactory diagnosis lies in recognizing the target …

Response time (RT) distributions are histograms of the observed RTs for discriminative
choices, comprising a rich source of empirical information to study perceptual processes …
