Vascular tree structure-based perfusion phantom fabrication using modified Hele-Shaw Cell technique

This paper introduces a modified Hele-Shaw Cell technique to fabricate vascular perfusion phantoms with fractal-like structures, validated for physiological flow and geometry.

Synaptic inhibition in the accessory olfactory bulb regulates pheromone location learning and memory

This study shows that synaptic inhibition in the accessory olfactory bulb is crucial for pheromone location learning and memory in rodents.

Mouse olfactory system acts as anemo-detector and -discriminator

This study shows mice can discriminate airflow alongside odors, revealing how mechanical and chemical stimuli interact in olfactory processing.

Uncertainty revealed by delayed responses during olfactory matching

This study develops an automated olfactory matching paradigm to assess sensory and cognitive functions in humans, finding that accuracy and decision times correlate with perceptual certainty and odor complexity.

Multimodal Learning of Pheromone Locations

This study shows that female mice can memorize pheromone locations using both olfactory and somatosensory systems, but not when either system is blocked or pheromonal cues are replaced with same-sex cues.
