Scientists at Firmenich buff.ly/jq1TyYa and now Givaudan buff.ly/u2gP5Ow report several olfactory receptors that appear to map cleanly onto specific odor notes (earthy, grapefruit, woody, etc.). 🧪
Decoding human olfaction by high heterologous expression of odorant receptors detecting signature odorants
Emter et al. improve in vitro expression of odorant receptors (OR) by engineering the C-terminal domain. With a library of engineered ORs, they discover ORs for signature odorants, which they relate…

Respiration facilitates behaviour during multisensory integration
The brain processes information from the external environment alongside signals generated by the body. Among bodily rhythms, respiration emerges as a key modulator of sensory processing. Multisensory ...

🧠👃 Can a _brief smell_ change how we remember something seconds later?
We used EEG + memory testing to show that odors trigger sustained brain activity—and shape memory for events happening after the smell disappears.

🚨 New preprint alert!
Excited to share our latest work on alpha/beta activity, eye movements, and memory.
Across 4 experiments combining scalp EEG/iEEG with eye tracking, we show that alpha/beta activity directly reflects eye movements, and only indirectly relates to memory.
👇 Highlights (1/7):

🧠🚨 How does the brain represent what we see? Is visual input transformed to form these representations in similar ways across people and even AI models like DNNs?
We explore these questions using fMRI and large-scale representational alignment analyses.
