Human ovulatory phase-increasing odors cause positive emotions and stress-suppressive effects in males Open
In many animals, olfactory cues are key for recognizing their sex, kinship, and reproductive status. In humans, it has been proposed that males find female body odors attractive during the ovulatory phase, coinciding with peak fertility. H…

Comprehensive analysis of gene expressions in ileal mucosa of chickens fed paddy rice and their IgA response to oral vaccination Open
Paddy rice ingestion increases intestinal mucin secretion and production by enhancing MUC2 gene expression and epithelial turnover. In this study, we performed a comprehensive analysis of intestinal gene expression in chickens fed paddy ri…

Spatiotemporal dynamics of odor representations in the human brain revealed by EEG decoding Open
Significance To elucidate when and where in the brain different aspects of odor perception emerge, we decoded odors from an electroencephalogram and associated the results with perception and source activities. The odor information was dec…
