OBJECTIVE Our goal was to use functional MRI (fMRI) of brain to reveal activation in each cerebral hemisphere in response to imagination and smell of odors. METHODS FMRI brain scans were obtained in 24 normal subjects using multislice fast low angle shot (FLASH) MRI in response to imagination of

OBJECTIVE Our goal was to use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to demonstrate brain activation in patients with unirhinal, episodic, recurrent phantosmia who induced their phantosmia by coughing, sneezing, laughing or vigorous nasal inhalation and expiration, and inhibited it by sleep or

OBJECTIVE Our goal was to demonstrate the appearance of phantom tastes and smells (phantageusia and phantosmia, respectively) by use of functional MRI (fMRI) of the brain and to demonstrate the efficacy of drug treatment that inhibited both the subjective presence of these phantoms and the fMRI

We have previously demonstrated, that 15 days after female rats pace the sexual interaction, there is an increase in the number of new cells that reach the granular cell layer (GrL) of the accessory olfactory bulb (AOB). The aim of the present study was to evaluate, if the first sexual experience in

Social odours, conspecific chemical signals, have been demonstrated in every class of vertebrate except birds. The apparent absence is surprising, as every bird examined has a functional olfactory system and many produce odours. The crested auklet (Aethia cristatella), a monogamous seabird, exhibits

Flavor is produced by the integration of taste, olfaction, texture, and temperature, currently thought to occur in the cortex. However, previous work has shown that brainstem taste-related nuclei also respond to multisensory inputs. Here, we test the hypothesis that taste and olfaction interact in

OBJECTIVE Our goal was to use functional MRI (fMRI) to measure brain activation in response to imagination of odors in humans. METHODS fMR brain scans were obtained in 21 normal subjects (9 men, 12 women) using multislice FLASH MRI in response to imagination of odors of banana and peppermint and to

OBJECTIVE Our goal was to use functional MRI (fMRI) to define brain activation in response to odors and imagination ("memory") of odors and tastes in patients who never recognized odors (congenital hyposmia). METHODS Functional MR brain scans were obtained in nine patients with congenital hyposmia

The distinctive flavor of wine, brandy, and other grape-derived alcoholic beverages is affected by many compounds, including esters produced during alcoholic fermentation. The characteristic fruity odors of the fermentation bouquet are primarily due to a mixture of hexyl acetate, ethyl caproate
