Description of the Book:
Concentration – response functions for pentyl acetate have been established for the German shepherd and for human subjects tested in the same behavioral apparatus. In dogs the magnitude of performance decrement at a given concentration was found to be a function of the magnitude of the concentration reduction from the preceding test concentration if this reduction exceeded a certain quantity. In another series of experiments, data suggests facilitation of performance in dogs following ingestion of an odorant is not nonspecific but the degree of specification needs clarification. A third study concerned the measurements relevant to understanding the aerodynamics of the nasal chamber and the dispersal of odorant molecules in the nasal airways. The final study attempted to determine the minimum number of molecules necessary to excite a single olfactory receptor in the dog
