The Odorants: Information from Answers.com (432 words)
The Odorants are a Finnish punk rock band.
The Odorants were formed in 1995 when Jaska went to high school in Nurmo where he met Anssi and Rami.
Since 2001 The Odorants were featured on the Finnish TV stations MoonTV and Nelonen in the Jackass-style series "Extreme Duudsonit", which is where their early recordings are mostly known from.
The RedShirtDiaries: Coherent Activity in Vertebrate Brains (1208 words)
In in vivo measurements we applied odorant stimuli to the nose and measured the changes in calcium concentration in the receptor neuron nerve terminals in the olfactory bulb glomeruli.
While the time courses of the response are the same everywhere in the bulb and the same for both odorants, the size of the response from the three areas were different for the two odorants.
Although the number of odorants we have tested is small, as far as we can tell these oscillations are the same for all odorants and are thus unlikely to be used for odorant recognition.
