1. Machine Learning Techniques with Specific Application to the Early Olfactory System
Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with machine learning techniques for the extraction of structure and the analysis of the vertebrate olfactory pathway based on related methods. Some of its main contributions are summarized below. LÄS MER
2. Perceptual integration of odor mixtures
Sammanfattning : Virtually all perceptions of environmental odors are based on an integration process of many volatile components, in many cases hundreds of components. By investigating the perceptual dimensions in this perceptual integration process and how it is affected by the neurophysiology of the olfactory system we can begin to understand the nature of complex odor perception.

3. Molecular and functional anatomy of the mouse olfactory epithelium
Sammanfattning : The olfactory system is important for social behaviors, feeding and avoiding predators. Detection of odorous molecules is made by odorant receptors on specialized sensory neurons in the olfactory epithelial sheet. LÄS MER
4. Human Pheromones : Psychological and Neurological Modulation of a Putative Human Pheromone
Sammanfattning : The notion that humans have specialized chemicals used for communication between conspecifics, so-called pheromones, has attracted much attention and discussion. This thesis demonstrates in four separate studies that a human endogenous steroidal compound that is abundant in male sweat, androstadienone, affects women in several ways that differ to that of common odors.

5. Mechanistic aspects of host plant preference in butterflies
Sammanfattning : Searching and locating resources is essential for survival. In herbivorous insects search behavior is conducted on several scales, requiring input and integration of information from different sensory modalities. LÄS MER
