If you open your lips slightly and take in some air, "you will further encourage the wine's volatile elements to vaporize and pass up the retro-nasal passage to the olfactory center".
As there is no direct connection between the nerves in each nostril, the researchers said their work suggested that the olfactory center in the brain shared information from both nostrils when learning a new scent.
Here we performed a comparative analysis of MAPK/ERK activation in single neurons of the food-aversion network, focusing both on command neurons, which mediate withdrawal behavior and process information pertaining to the unconditioned stimulus, and on neurons of the procerebrum, the mollusk's olfactory center, which process information from the conditioned stimulus.
The olfactory center in a dog's brain is also 40 times larger than the human equivalent.
This study provides the first evidence that the Drosophila MB, a higher olfactory center, responds dynamically to airflow stimuli.
This indicates that the principle of maximum information preservation is used in the Drosophila primary olfactory center.
This learning ability critically depends on the procerebrum, which is the higher olfactory center in the brain of the terrestrial mollusk.
It would be intriguing to investigate which other distantly related terrestrial animals have the capability of olfactory center reconstitution following injury or ablation.
This learning ability critically depends on the procerebrum (PC), which is the higher olfactory center located bilaterally in the CNS of the terrestrial mollusk.
The Drosophila mushroom body (MB) is a higher olfactory center where olfactory and other sensory information are thought to be associated.
In most insects, it is considered to be a higher olfactory center receiving its olfactory inputs from antennal lobe projection neurons (PNs), which in turn receive olfactory inputs from olfactory sensory neurons [8].
