Scientists learn to follow their noses
Scientists learn to Benefits of olfactory research may go far beyond the nostrils
The Associated Press
BOSTON — Scientists know a lot about smell. They know it weakens as we get older, it varies depending on a person's sex and ethnic background, and it involves more than just the smell they generally don't know is why.
"Within the scientific community, smell has always taken a back seat to the other senses, probably because we don't live in an olfactory world. We live in a visual world, our sounds, our bodies, a new Medical Center researcher trying to determine brain function using the nose.
Last year, he used video cameras and special dyes to trace the path of an odor impulse through the brain of a salamander. The work produced a "movie," or series of color-enhanced
pictures, showing that the brain is a parallel processor that handles many signals simultaneously — like a supercomputer.
supercomputer The research may have implications for the study and treatment of brain tumors by helping to differentiate between tumors and normal tissue.
scores of researchers are poking their noses into such olfactory odities as a link between premature decline in smell and Alzheimer's disease; a protein that ferries odor molecules through the nose; the fact that half of all people suffer large losses in the sense of smell; and the trait peculiar to some nasal nerve cells to regenerate.
Regenerate. They're the only neurons in the human body that undergo this spontaneous renewal and spontaneous decay." Kauer said.
Some of the research in the field of smell is aimed not at medical advancement but at the bottom line. In Union Beach, N.J., Craig Warren heads a research and development team for International Fragrances and Flavors Inc., a company that manufactures perfumes and other products made by hundreds of companies around the world.
Smell, Warren said, "is the one sense for which the mechanism for perception is unknown."
Scientists know how odor is gathered by smell neurons, but they don't know how a few similar odors can be differentiated between thousands of different odors.
Research suggests that the process of smelling involves more than the nose, Warren said. When blindfolded, "Most people cannot discriminate a lemon from a lime or an orange from a grapefruit."
International Fragrances and Fla
vors regularly brings in dozens of smell samples, usually women, to rate and react to fragrances, with emphasis on how the fragrances can alter mood. In the process, Warren has found that 10 percent to 15 percent of the subjects display a particularly acute sense of smell.
The general subject headings scientists have explored give an idea of the scope of smell research: the influence of body tilt on the sense of smell; and the effect of mouth movement, swallowing and spitting.
Studies of ethnic groups have turned up some interesting distinctions. Korean Americans appeared to have particularly acute ability to identify snails. Black Americans in one sampling had trouble with cedar and cheddar cheese. Whites had trouble with gingerbread. Native Japanese scored poorly on clove and fruit punch.
Despite this mountain of research, a main question that puzzles scientists is precisely how the sense of smell works.
Panel hears pitch for center
- Continued from p.1
Del Brinkman, vice竞聘 for academic affairs, said the Kansas City area had a strong need for more education centers.
"If we don't try to meet the need, then Missoullie will," he said. "Then they would take the cream off the top and we would have what was left."
A project schedule submitted to the Legislature's Joint Committee on Building Construction estimated that contract bidding for the center would
begin about April 1990 and that the center would be ready for occupancy by October 1991.
For the schedule to proceed as proposed, financing for the center would have to be approved during the current legislative session.
Brinkman said he knew of no large opposition to the center.
"We have put ourselves out on a limb for this," he said.
