Electro-olfactography
Electro-olfactography (EOG) is a technique used to measure the olfactory response of the olfactory epithelium to odor stimulation. The technique was first described by Ottoson in 1956 and has since been used in various studies to understand the functioning of the olfactory system.
History[edit | edit source]
Dagfinn A. Ottoson, a Swedish physiologist, first described the technique of electro-olfactography in 1956. He used the technique to measure the electrical response of the olfactory epithelium to odor stimulation. Since then, the technique has been used in various studies to understand the functioning of the olfactory system.
Technique[edit | edit source]
In electro-olfactography, a small electrode is placed on the surface of the olfactory epithelium. This electrode measures the electrical response of the olfactory epithelium to odor stimulation. The electrical response is then recorded and analyzed to understand the functioning of the olfactory system.
Applications[edit | edit source]
Electro-olfactography has been used in various studies to understand the functioning of the olfactory system. It has been used to study the olfactory response to different odors, to understand the role of the olfactory system in flavor perception, and to investigate the effects of various diseases on the olfactory system.
