In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

L'olfaction ou l'odorat est le sens qui permet d'analyser les substances chimiques volatiles (odeurs) présentes dans l'air, ce sens est moins utilisé chez l'être humain que chez de nombreux mammifères pour lesquels il est prépondérant, néanmoins, l'odeur personnelle semble encore jouer un ou plusieurs rôles en termes de communication non verbale, à plusieurs âges de la vie, avec des nuances notamment selon le sexe (Homme/Femme), selon l'âge ou selon les contextes socio-culturels

Chemosensory cognition and the evolution of olfaction

Order: Reorder
Duration: 63:27
Updated: 31 Jan 2014

4/8/2013 Lucia Jacobs - University of California Berkley "Chemosensory cognition and the evolution of olfaction" "The chemical senses of vertebrates present some of the most enduring mysteries of brain evolution. First, it is not clear why are there two olfactory systems: the main system (MOS), detecting odorants on the olfactory epithelium and projecting to the olfactory bulb, and the accessory system (AOS), detecting odorants in the vomeronasal organ and projecting to the accessory olfactory bulb. More perplexing, taxonomic patterns of olfactory system presence and size cannot be explained by any current hypothesis, whether behavioral or phylogenetic. Yet the two systems vary immensely in structure and complexity across vertebrates, particularly in primates. Rather than assuming that the size of an olfactory system scales with the need to discriminate a class of odorants, I propose a new hypothesis: that the MOS evolved as a navigation system, to map the aqueous chemical world experienced by the early vertebrates. I further propose that this function retained its primacy in land vertebrates, and that this spatio-temporal hypothesis of olfaction offers a new explanation for the patterns of neural architecture, plasticity and allometry of olfactory systems in vertebrates."
