Exam 13: The Chemical Senses:

The only sensory system in which the pathway from the receptors to the cortex does not go through the thalamus is the system.

McClintock (1971)studied the menstrual cycles of women living in the same college dormitory and found that

The olfactory tract has its direct inputs into the

______________ papillae are small ridgelike folds found on the sides of the tongue near the back.

The basic taste categories that are typically associated with filling nutritive needs are

Miller and Maner (2010)had male college students smell T-shirts worn by women while they slept.Some of the shirts had been worn by the women on the nights closest to ovulation,some on the nights farthest from ovulation,and some had never been worn.When the men's testoster- one levels were measured,they showed that

The neural pathway for taste goes from the

The model of taste perception proposes that each cranial nerve fiber carries signals with information about just one of the five taste qualities.

Willander and Larsson (2006)studied autobiographical memories elicited by odors,words,or pictures for participants 65 to 80 years of age.They found that the tended to evoke a stronger feeling of being "brought back in time."

What effect would damage to each of the following regions have on a person's sense of smell: olfactory bulb,posterior piriform cortex,and orbitofrontal cortex?

The fact that there are many times more types of ORNs than types of color cones in vision indi- cates that

Rabin and Cain's (1984)studies of the memory for odors have shown that

A taste category that serves to warn us of toxic or inedible substances is

The relationship between smoking and olfactory identification ability as measured by the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test indicates that

Axons of form the olfactory tract.

Stevenson et al.(2010)studied human responses to fecal and urinous odorants and found that

The results of the study by Malnic et al.(1999)indicated that

The vomeronasal olfactory system

Molecules that cause our olfactory receptors to produce neural signals are called

The piriform cortex produces representations of features of odorant molecules.
