Adaptive behavior is optimized in organisms that maintain flexible representations of the
value of sensory-predictive cues. To identify central representations of predictive reward value …

The stimulus complexity of naturally occurring odours presents unique challenges for
central nervous systems that are aiming to internalize the external olfactory landscape. One …

This chapter focuses on central olfactory processing in the human brain. As the psychophysiology
of human olfactory function is important for appreciating its underlying neurophysiology…

Human olfactory perception is notoriously unreliable, but shows substantial benefits from
visual cues, suggesting important crossmodal integration between these primary sensory …

Learning to associate sensory cues with threats is critical for minimizing aversive experience.
The ecological benefit of associative learning relies on accurate perception of predictive …

We combined event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) with olfactory
classical conditioning to differentiate the neural responses evoked during appetitive and …

Neuroscientific models of sensory perception suggest that the brain utilizes predictive codes
in advance of a stimulus encounter, enabling organisms to infer forthcoming sensory events…

Studies of patients with focal brain injury indicate that smell perception involves caudal
orbitofrontal and medial temporal cortices, but a more precise functional organization has not …

In extinction, an animal learns that a previously conditioned stimulus (CS+) no longer predicts
delivery of a salient reinforcer (unconditioned stimulus, UCS). Rodent studies indicate that …

A common problem in gradient-echo echo planar imaging (EPI) is the occurrence of image
distortions and signal losses caused by susceptibility gradients near air/tissue interfaces. …
