The paper shows that rapid odorant metabolism in the olfactory mucosa generates secondary odorants that reshape odor representations by introducing timing-based distinctions between inhaled and internally-generated odorants.

This study shows human olfaction can distinguish odorants based on their temporal order within a single sniff, with performance improving as the onset asynchrony increases.

This study models the human tongue as a porous medium to understand taste perception timing, finding that molecular size affects the delay and intensity of taste perception.
