Olfactory bulb

Overview Communication is the basis for all primate social behavior. Primates communicate using a variety of modalities including olfaction, vision, and audition. While primate communication is an extensively researched topic, not all modalities have received the same amount of research. Acoustic communication has been the most often studied, followed by visual and then olfactory (Semple & Higham, 2013). Typically primates are considered visual animals and several species have the ability to recognize color variants, a wide range of facial expressions, and colorful markings. It has been argued as to whether primates are “microsmatic” (not heavily reliant on smell) compared to other mammals, such as rodents, that are considered “macrosmatic”…

Aromatherapy is defined as the controlled use of essential plant oils for preventative and therapeutic purposes (Koo, 2017). The term “aromatherapy” was not coined until much later by Rene-Maurice Gatteefosse, who experimented with aromatherapy in World War I for wound treatment (Butje, Repede, 2008). Since then, oils have been used in the UK and Europe for treatment but still has not debuted in the United States as a prescribed form of treatment (Butje, Repede, 2008). Essential oils act on the…

anatomy and structure of Gray wolves in Yellowstone, here is a list of the main characteristics of these predators: - Long legs, narrow chest and flexible feet (with four toes on hindfoot and five on forefoot – only four touching the ground when walking); - Elongated skull with very large nasal cavity and olfactory region (which is fourteen times bigger than the ones of humans); - Forty-two teeth: large canines (at least 5 cm long) and incisors to hold preys, carnassial to chew flash and…

The Effect of Incongruent Background Color on Odor Perception The olfactory perception is the one sense that is the most difficult to describe in words. It is also a rather personal sense since people connect scents with certain memories or images of their lives. When people are asked to imagine the scent of lavender, some might think about their mother’s laundry detergent that smelled like lavender, which she used when they were younger. But to imagine scent without thinking of an actual image…

the WWA. The man, whose name was Richard, explained to Allor about Lila’s special abilities, and how she would be put into Magicae Academy and learn how to control her powers. The school accepted ages 5-20, and the students spent nearly fifteen years there studying and practicing magic, along with learning the regular curriculum of the American school system. The students would stay at the academy throughout the school year, September through May, and come home during the summer. Lila was in…

1. A perception is when sensory impulses are interpreted in the brain, such as touching a hot stove. A sensation is when the brain becomes aware of a stimulus, such as pain. 2. Pain receptors are excited by any type of tissue damage. 3. Referred pain is a phenomenon when you feel pain in an area other than where the pain originates from. 4. The thalamus and cerebral cortex are the parts on the brain that interpret pain impulses. The thalamus establishes the awareness of pain, and the…

scientist made the discoveries about genetic, and cellular mechanisms responsible for the sense of smell in human beings, and other organisms. People detect smells by breathing in air that carries odors. Odors come from molecules that have been released into the air from many different substances. These molecules stimulate olfactory receptor cells inside the nose. The receptor cells send impulses created by the odor along the olfactory nerves. The nerve impulses travel to the brain, then…

odor when used. This gave Edison the idea of creating an alternative source of light with the newly discovered energy, electricity. Invented in 1879, the incandescent light bulb became one of the biggest factor in revolutionizing people 's’ lives. It gave people the power to control lighting inside their home, workplaces, and the streets with a flick of the switch. It illuminated the night; making a wide range of human activities possible. Thomas Edison invention of the incandescent bulb had a…

The light bulb is one of Thomas Edison’s most famous engineering innovations. However the “Wizard of Menlo Park” (a name which he was also known as) has created and/or designed so many more inventions than just the light bulb. He has about 2332 patents worldwide proving he was really a great inventor. However, what proved his amazing skilling creating/designing are the useful products that are used throughout society till date. Edison’s inventions/designs such as the first electrical power grid,…

Nix states that Tesla favored AC and Edison favored DC, in order to discredit Tesla, Edison showed that AC was dangerous by using it to make the first electric chair (Nix). Transition: Edison was not the inventor that we remember. II. Thomas Edison was willing to cross lines to get what he wanted. A. The light bulb was already an invention way before Edison. a. According to the article mentioned earlier written by Griswold, states that Edison only perfected the light bulb, Electric lighting…
