Abstract:
:There is no natural physical continuum for odor quality along which an odor quality discrimination (OQD) threshold can be measured. In an attempt to overcome this problem, the substitution-reciprocity (SURE) method defines a framework for the measurement of an OQD threshold. More specifically, it (i) defines a threshold concept for OQD, including the quantification of qualitative change of the stimulus, and (ii) suggests how to avoid perceived intensity as an unwanted cue for discrimination. In doing this, the psychometric properties of odor quality in the case of eugenol and citral are investigated using both discrimination (experiment 1) and scaling (experiment 2). Based on discriminatory responses, a change of approximately one-third in stimulus content was needed to reach the OQD threshold for eugenol and citral.

CHEMICAL SENSES文献大全abstract::The embryonic origins of taste receptor cells have not been established experimentally. Although related receptor cells (e.g. hair cells of the inner ear, lateral line receptors) are known to arise from neurogenic ectoderm (e.g. neural crest or placodes), taste buds are described as arising from local epithelial cells...
