Previously, researchers had noticed that scent-processing areas of the brain are larger in shark species that do a lot of navigating.
This suggests that the key odorants are indeed a bee's "focus" when detecting and processing a floral scent, and information from non-key-odorants might be of much less relevance for odour discrimination and generalization.
For instance, reading a word like cinnamon activates the portion of the brain that processes scent, in addition to the language processing areas.
It is likely that key odorant processing of scents is not unique for honeybees or even insects, but is used by all animals.
In one, he would write instructions on the processing envelope as to which scents should be applied to which frames of the film.
For example, orthonasal (through the nose) scent administration augments levels of alertness and leads to increased cognitive processing; however, effects observed during retronasal (through the mouth) administration are significantly less powerful.
Phthalates can be used as plasticizers in polyvinyl chloride plastics, to hold scent and as solvents in personal care products, and in food packaging and processing materials (Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry 2001; Hauser and Calafat 2004).
A recent study on floral scent coding in moths [19] suggests that the AL is indeed involved in key odorant processing: only 9 out of the 60 odorants from the floral scent mixture tested elicited robust neural responses in the moth AL.
Utilizing software and hardware including Processing, an Arduino, a MacBook Pro, and of course a nice silver spray paint, the installation simultaneously releases scent and sound through its gigantic nostrils.
