A Mobile APP-based, Customizable Automated Device for Self-Administered Olfactory Testing and an Implementation of Smell Identification Test
Chem Senses. 2023 Jun 30:bjad022. doi: 10.1093/chemse/bjad022. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOlfactory tests are used for evaluation of ability to detect and identify common odors in humans psychophysically. Olfactory tests are currently administered by professionals with a set of given odorants. Manual administration of such tests can be labor and cost intensive and data collected as such are confounded with experimental variables, which adds personnel costs and introduces potential errors and data variability. For large-scale and longitudinal studies, manually recorded data must be collected and compiled from multiple si...

Selective pressure on a saccharin intake phenotype and its correlates: A replication study
Chem Senses. 2023 Jun 30:bjad021. doi: 10.1093/chemse/bjad021. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe Occidental High- and Low-Saccharin rats (respectively, HiS and LoS lines) were selectively bred for decades to examine mechanisms and correlates of a saccharin intake phenotype. Observed line differences ranged from taste and eating to drug self-administration and defensive behavior, paralleling human research on relationships between gustation, personality, and psychopathology. The original lines were terminated in 2019, and replicate lines (HiS-R, LoS-R) were selectively bred for five generations to test for reproducible, rap...
