Olfactory memory: the long and short of it.

abstract：:Many rodents are now known to exhibit an obligate proteinuria that delivers urine-mediated chemosignals. In this paper, we explore the urinary proteins of the Roborovski hamster (Phodopus roborovskii). Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis of urine from individual male and female Roborovsk...

abstract：:It is commonly agreed upon a strong link between emotion and olfaction. Odor-evoked memories are experienced as more emotional compared with verbal, visual, and tactile stimuli. Moreover, the emotional quality of odor cues increases memory performance, but contrary to this, odors are poor retrieval cues for verbal lab...

As the target concentration is increased, the masking concentration must be increased, too, but in ever-increasing proportion. To qu...
