A new olfactory test, the odor stick identification test for Japanese (OSIT-J), has been developed in Japan. To determine if the OSIT-J would be effective cross-culturally, we administered the test...

The odor identification is strongly influenced by the social and cultural factors; therefore, the odorants used in a smell identification test should be familiar to the test population. In addition,...

Laterality of Human Primary Gustatory Cortex Studied by MEG (2005)
Onoda, Keiko, Kobayakawa, Tatsu, Ikeda, Minoru, Saito, Sachiko, Kida, Akinori
We examined the laterality of the human gustatory neural pathway by measuring gustatory-evoked magnetic fields (GEMfs) and demonstrating the activation of the human primary gustatory cortex (PGC). In...

Gustatory Evoked Cortical Activity in Humans Studied by Simultaneous EEG and MEG Recording (2002)
Mizoguchi, Chie, Kobayakawa, Tatsu, Saito, Sachiko, Ogawa, Hisashi
Evoked potentials are widely used in clinical medicine for objective evaluation of sensory disturbances. However, gustatory evoked potentials (GEPs) have not been extensively studied due to lack of...

It is important to learn about changes in both taste and odor perceptions with increasing age, because the taste of foods we encounter in our daily life is strongly affected by their smell. This...

In this study, 40 Japanese, 44 German and 39 Mexican women were presented with 18 everyday odorants. They were asked to rate them for intensity on a six-point scale from not detectable to very...
Spatio-temporal Analysis of Cortical Activity Evoked by Gustatory Stimulation in Humans (1999)
Kobayakawa, Tatsu, Ogawa, Hisashi, Kaneda, Hirotaka, Ayabe-Kanamura, Saho, Saito, Sachiko
Gustatory activated regions in the cerebral cortex have not been identified precisely in humans. In this study we recorded the magnetic fields from the brain in response to two tastants, 1 M NaCl and...
Differences in Perception of Everyday Odors: a Japanese-German Cross-cultural Study (1998)
Ayabe-Kanamura, Saho, Schicker, Ina, Laska, Matthias, Hudson, Robyn, Distel, Hans, Kobayakawa, Tatsu, ...
There is a growing appreciation that experience with odors may strongly influence their perception. To further investigate this, the responses of 40 Japanese and 44 age-matched German women to...
