olfactory

Examples of olfactory in the following topics:

• Olfaction: The Nasal Cavity and Smell

  • Olfactory sensitivity is directly proportional to spatial area in the nose—specifically the olfactory epithelium, which is where odorant reception occurs.
  • The area in the nasal cavity near the septum is reserved for the olfactory mucous membrane, where olfactory receptor cells are located.
  • This area is a dime-sized region called the olfactory mucosa.
  • Olfactory transduction is a series of events in which odor molecules are detected by olfactory receptors.
  • The olfactory nerve connects the olfactory system to the central nervous system to allow processing of odor information.

• Basic Principles of Classical Conditioning

  • When a dog sees food, the visual and olfactory stimuli send information to the brain through their respective neural pathways, ultimately activating the salivation glands to secrete saliva.

• Additional Sensory Systems

  • No matter what your level of experience with psychology is, you have probably heard of the five basic senses, which consist of the visual, auditory (hearing), gustatory (taste), olfactory (smell), and somatosensory (touch) systems.

• Basic Principles of Classical Conditioning: Pavlov

  • When a dog sees food, the visual and olfactory stimuli send information to the brain through their respective neural pathways, ultimately activating the salivation glands to secrete saliva.

• The Schizophrenia Spectrum

  • Auditory and visual hallucinations cannot be prominent, though olfactory or tactile hallucinations related to the content of the delusion may be present.

• Biology of Emotion

  • Other parts of the limbic system include the olfactory bulbs, anterior nuclei, fornix, column of fornix, mammillary body, septum pellucidum, habenular commissure, cingulate gyrus, parahippocampal gyrus, limbic cortex, and limbic midbrain areas.
