This study investigates childhood olfactory memories, finding they are encoded around age six, involve pleasant odors in multisensory contexts, and are more emotionally positive than non-olfactory memories.

The paper shows that positive olfactory childhood memories in mice are encoded in the olfactory bulb and involve dynamic changes in brain networks.

The paper develops an automated workflow for whole brain analysis of neuronal activity using c-Fos immunohistochemistry and open-source tools, enabling accurate and unbiased quantification across contexts.

The paper introduces a power calculator for behavioral neuroscience experiments evaluating success rates, showing how adjusting experimental parameters can increase statistical power with small sample sizes.

This study shows that lifelong olfactory enrichment in mice improves cognitive performance and brain connectivity, linked to noradrenergic plasticity and network remodeling in aging.

This pilot study evaluates the effect of smells on behavior in level 3 autistic children during routine tasks and crises, suggesting potential behavioral reductions with further validation needed.

This study shows noradrenergic inputs to the olfactory bulb modulate memory stability by affecting memory duration, flexibility, and specificity through computational modeling.
