From the perspective of the recipient of the signal, in what ways do pheromones differ from other odorants?
Scent-free zones are important recommendations because some people are very
sensitive to odorants. What is one reason that someone might be over-sensitive to
odorants?
higher threshold to activate the Golf cascade
greater hyperpolarized resting potential in olfactory neurons
reduced sensitivity of the Golf response
lower threshold to activate the Golf cascade
Our sense of smell is closely linked to our feelings and emotions. Bad odors usually evoke negative feelings, whereas pleasant odors give us a general sense of well-being or may be associated with good memories (perfume makers know this). The house of a pet owner can have an odor that a guest finds objectionable but the owner may not even be aware of. With a long enough visit even the guest may not notice the pet odors. Why is this?

Although we are all forgetful sometimes, most people do not have trouble remembering things that are important or routine to us, such as our friend’s name or how to get to class. Our brain, the control center of the nervous system and the rest of the body, normally allows us to retain and recall information. But if the brain becomes damaged, a person may need to rely excessively on external reminders — like this wall of sticky notes — rather than being able to trust their own memory. That is if they are able to remember to write things down in the first place. One person having trouble with their memory is Rosa, who is 68 years old. Rosa has been having difficulty remembering where she has set down objects in her house and forgot about a few doctor’s appointments and lunches she planned with friends. Her family began to notice that she would sometimes not recall recent…arrow_forwardA patient with schizophrenia is having a conversation with a nurse Here are a few pieces of the exchange Nurse: Why don’t you like the groups?
