Odor2Action network members led by Andreas Schaefer at The Francis Crick Institute, London, UK, publish a new paper challenging the idea that olfaction is a “slow sense”

This paper describes the results of experiments that demonstrate that the mammalian olfactory system has access to unexpectedly fast temporal features in odor stimuli. Using engineered fast odor delivery and measurement devices, the authors show that mice can detect temporal structure in odors at frequencies as high as 40 Hz. Read the paper in Nature here.
