This chapter will focus on the methods by which behavior can be used to study olfactory lateralization in different animal models. Starting from the description of different testing paradigms, each paragraph reported and discussed the evolution and functional role of lateralized brain functions related to olfaction. The main advantages and disadvantages of behavioral techniques used to study olfactory lateralization are also discussed as well as any behavioral and physiological validation. Furthermore, suggestions for improvements to the current methods are given in the last section, with a focus on dog species.

Abstract

This chapter will focus on the methods by which behavior can be used to study olfactory lateralization in different animal models. Starting from the description of different testing paradigms, each paragraph reported and discussed the evolution and functional role of lateralized brain functions related to olfaction. The main advantages and disadvantages of behavioral techniques used to study olfactory lateralization are also discussed as well as any behavioral and physiological validation. Furthermore, suggestions for improvements to the current methods are given in the last section, with a focus on dog species.
