People with psychopathic tendencies have an impaired sense of smell, which points to inefficient processing in the front part of the brain (orbitofrontal cortex) according to a new study. Read More
Researchers use peanut butter as a new tool to diagnose early stage Alzheimer's disease. Read More
Researchers have successfully recreated the whisker map a mouse creates of its surroundings to help it navigate the world, catch food and avoid predators. Read More
A new study reveals how smells we encounter throughout life are encoded in memory. The findings could help develop new smell tests for Alzheimer's disease. Read More
A new computational model sheds light on the complexity of smell identification. Researchers report different brains know how to associate new similar odors, so long as they have experienced an overlap in odors over their lifetime. Read More
A new neuroimaging study reveals how anxiety or stress can link areas of the brain for emotion and olfactory processing, making neutral odors smell malodorous. Read More
Researchers discover a key to forming distinct associative memories lies in how information from the senses is encoded in the brain. Read More
Researchers report testing both the cognitive and olfactory abilities in people could help identify those at risk for developing Alzheimer's disease. Read More
Researchers are developing a deep learning network capable of smelling human breath and identifying a range of illness revealing substances we may inhale. Read More
Researchers offer an explanation of how a single stimulus can sometimes trigger a different response, even in the same individual. Read More
Researchers report nematodes can suppress their ability to locate food in favor of finding a mate. Read More
