Cilia of olfactory sensory neurons contain proteins of the signal transduction cascade, but a detailed spatial analysis of their distribution is difficult in cryosections. We describe here an optimized approach for whole mount labeling and en face visualization of ciliary proteins.

We present a simple and unbiased olfactory test in mice. With this protocol olfactory discrimination, preference, avoidance and sensitivity to a novel odor as compared to water can be assessed in single behavioral sessions. This method is indicated for a single experimenter and analysis is based on computer-assisted video processing.
FAQs
Concentration and timing determine which odor exposure participants receive and when they receive it. The system can select stored odorants, set defined concentrations, and coordinate release through cartridges, valves, or microfluidic channels. These controls let investigators present the same odor conditions across trials, making observed perceptual, behavioral, or physiological responses easier to compare.
Standardized delivery reduces variation in odor presentation that could otherwise complicate interpretation. By controlling the selected compounds, their concentrations, and release timing, investigators can examine responses to pathogen-associated or inflammation-related volatile compounds under defined conditions. This consistency is especially relevant when comparing participants or experimental conditions in studies of sensory perception and infection-related biology.
Controlled odors provide a way to examine how people perceive volatile compounds associated with pathogens or inflammation and how those perceptions relate to behavioral or physiological responses. In an immunology and infection context, the technology can support experiments linking sensory communication with host-pathogen questions while keeping the odor-related exposure controlled and experimentally consistent.
A basic workflow begins by choosing the odorants to present, storing them in the system, and configuring delivery hardware such as cartridges, valves, or microfluidic channels. Investigators then define the concentration and timing for each release and present the selected conditions alongside visual or auditory data when needed. Responses can be examined across standardized odor presentations.
Controlled odor presentation can support several research directions identified in the immunology and infection context. Investigators may study perception of pathogen-associated or inflammation-related volatile compounds, examine odor-driven behavioral and physiological responses, and explore diagnostic biomarkers. The same approach can also contribute to research on host-pathogen interactions and sensory communication by supplying reproducible odor conditions for experiments.
Studies can evaluate how participants perceive selected volatile compounds and whether odor exposure is associated with behavioral or physiological responses. Because the system defines which compounds are delivered, at what concentration, and at what time, researchers can relate outcomes to specific presentation conditions. These observations may inform investigations of odor-based biomarkers and communication in infection-related research.
