Discover how the brain quickly adapts to changing rules and behaviors. A fascinating study reveals the neural feedback loop that helps us stay flexible in a dynamic world.

The odorants are then transformed into spatiotemporal patterns of neural activity in the olfactory bulb and central nervous system, and decoded by the brain to generate a perceptual ‘odour ...

Would you give up your sense of smell to keep your hair? What about your phone? A 2022 US study compared smell to other ...

Kaboom! The first time most of us hear the sound of an explosion is in the movies. Encountering the sound in the real ...

CSHL Professor Florin Albeanu and his team trained mice to associate a reward with a different sound or odor—but only one of these stimuli at a time. They found that a feedback loop between the ...

A study identifies five women who have a functioning sense of smell despite an apparent lack of olfactory bulbs—the region of the brain that processes odors. Jef Akst was managing editor of The ...

New research reveals how the brain rapidly adapts to sensory changes using a feedback loop between the olfactory cortex and the olfactory bulb.

A dog’s sense of smell is nothing short of extraordinary. While humans primarily rely on sight to understand the world, dogs ...
