Eyestalks are a specialized type of tentacle. Tentacles may also have olfactory organs at their ends. [3] Examples of creatures with olfactory tentacles include snails, the trilobite superfamily Asaphida, and the fly family Diopsidae. In slugs and snails, these tentacles will regrow if severely damaged, and in some species, are retractable. [1]

In terrestrial gastropods (land snails and slugs), the olfactory organs, located on the tips of the four tentacles, are the most important sensory organ. [23] The chemosensory organs of opisthobranch marine gastropods are called rhinophores. The majority of gastropods have simple visual organs, eye spots either at the tip or base of the
The Lady and the Unicorn, a Flemish tapestry depicting the sense of smell, 1484–1500. Musée national du Moyen Âge, Paris.. Early scientific study of the sense of smell includes the extensive doctoral dissertation of Eleanor Gamble, published in 1898, which compared olfactory to other stimulus modalities, and implied that smell had a lower intensity discrimination.
A video shows the long creature with tentacles and large eyes floating through the water and excreting a cloud of greenish-yellow ink. “Note the abstract shapes made by the squid inking: Squids ...
The main olfactory bulb's pulses in the amygdala are used to pair odors to names and recognize odor to odor differences. [17] [18] The bed nuclei of the stria terminalis (BNST) act as the information pathway between the amygdala and hypothalamus, as well as the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. BNST abnormalities often lead to sexual confusion ...
This study was an opportunity to look for the presence of microplastics in the olfactory bulbs of the human brain. The olfactory bulbs are a critical component of people’s ability to smell.
Each polyp has eight tentacles, the study’s lead co-author Yuka Kushida told McClatchy News over email. Overall, the gnome sea pen has 328 tentacles. Several close-up photos show a diagram of ...
