| Recent findings on the sensitivity of primate olfaction and gustation to ethanol are consistent with this notion. |
|
| Less obvious in its function in sociality than sight and hearing, olfaction still mediates relationships between subjects. |
|
| As an immunologist and neurobiologist, Mombaerts has decisively contributed to the basic mechanistic understanding of olfaction. |
|
| For many animals seasonality is common, as shown in winter hibernation, and olfaction plays an important role. |
|
| The nurse shark relies on its sense of olfaction, touch and electrical reception. |
|
| It has established prestigious five year fellowships for outstanding laboratory investigators, particularly in hearing and olfaction. |
|
| But many different functions converge in the head and neck area, including vision, hearing, olfaction, locomotion, and brain volume. |
|
| The diminution of the importance of olfaction is a casualty of the drive towards the intellectualisation of modern life. |
|
| But even in humans, there is growing evidence that olfaction is important in such functions as sexual preference, and recognition of other people. |
|
| The neuroanatomical studies indicate that NO-cGMP signaling is involved in modalities as diverse as vision, olfaction, taste, hearing, and tactile exteroception. |
|
| These involve genes related to reproduction, immunity and olfaction, suggesting that these physiological systems have been the focus of extensive innovation in rodents. |
|
| Geckos also use jaw prehension, but they use olfaction for discriminating between chemical cues rather than vomerolfaction. |
|
| Intense and broad hints of blackberry jam, resin, tobacco, and balsamic notes inebriate the olfaction. |
|
| Inside the skull, elephants possess from seven to nine nasal turbinals with specialized sensitive tissues for olfaction. |
|
| For them, as she told a session of the AAAS meeting devoted to olfaction and culture, things are rather different. |
|
| Studies of the brains of mice show that regions involved in olfaction also react to sound. Taste, too, seems linked to hearing. |
|
| However, in some animals olfaction plays a significant role, often in conjunction with one of the other senses. |
|
| The surprisingly complex social organization of these organisms is largely based on olfaction. |
|
| For olfaction, put 3-4 drops in a cup and breath the steam to clear the sinuses. |
|
| Its research into olfaction receptors has led to the discovery of primary molecules inhibiting transpiration odours. |
|
|
|
| However, in the case of social and reproductive behaviours, olfaction is a key source of information. |
|
| Lizards make use of their senses of sight, touch, olfaction and hearing like other vertebrates. |
|
| In olfaction, these features might be chemical species, chirality, concentration, location, stationariness, or rate of encounter. |
|
| For olfaction, as for taste, there is no possible transposition of our sensitivity from a molecule to another one, even if they belong to the same chemical family. |
|
| Because they are located on the surface of cells, these receptors play a key role in controlling biological processes as diverse as neurotransmission, metabolism, immune responses and inflammation, olfaction and vision. |
|
| Crocodiles close their nostrils when submerged, so olfaction underwater is unlikely. |
|
| In the laboratory, cattle can be trained to recognise conspecific individuals using olfaction only. |
|
| Tierney's group showed that at exposures of about 10 ppb, the fungicidal wood-preservative known as IPB turned off olfaction in coho salmon. |
|
| Deepening the understanding of olfaction is central to the design and development of new molecules and the technologies to modulate sensory responses. |
|
| All animals and microorganisms such as bacteria exhibit this latter type of chemoreception, but the two commonly recognized chemosensory systems are the senses of taste, or gustation, and smell, or olfaction. |
|
| To further support this, no change in GABA transaminase occurred in anosmic rats, while modulation occurred in rats with olfaction intact. |
|
| It is possible that crocodiles use olfaction in the egg prior to hatching. |
|
| In fish the telencephalon is concerned mostly with olfaction. |
|
| Olfaction is probably the wolf's most acute sense, and plays a fundamental role in communication. |
|
| Invotec offers a simpler smell test, the Olfaction Screen Test. |
