Sniffing (behavior)
Sniffing is a perceptually-relevant behavior, defined as the active sampling of odors through the nasal cavity for the purpose of information acquisition. This behavior, displayed by all terrestrial vertebrates, is typically identified based upon changes in respiratory frequency and/or amplitude, and is often studied in the context of odor guided behaviors and olfactory perceptual tasks. Sniffing is quantified by measuring intra-nasal pressure or flow or air or, while less accurate, through a strain gauge on the chest to measure total respiratory volume. Strategies for sniffing behavior vary depending upon the animal, with small animals (rats, mice, hamsters) displaying sniffing frequencies ranging from 4 to 12 Hz but larger animals (humans) sniffing at much lower frequencies, usually less than 2 Hz. Subserving sniffing behaviors, evidence for an "olfactomotor" circuit in the brain exists, wherein perception or expectation of an odor can trigger brain respiratory center t ...

Sniffle
A sniffle is the instinct, instinctive action of inhaling quickly in order to prevent mucus from flowing from one's nasal cavity, as an alternative to blowing the nose. Physiology For a fraction of a second, the performer inhales strongly, pulling mucus from the outer part of the nasal cavity higher up, even into the Paranasal sinuses, sinus. This action is generally repeated every few seconds or minutes as the pulled mucus returns to the outer part of the nasal cavity, until the mucus stops returning (due to the mucus having drained into the throat, the nose having been blown to remove the mucus, or some other factor). Sniffling and having a runny nose are not always associated with sneeze, sneezing or coughing. Sniffling is not necessarily related to illness. In addition to Allergy, allergies and colds, it can be a result of being in cold temperatures, as a way to hold back tears, and as a tic. When it is related to illness, sniffling can aggravate or extend the illness (relati ...

Sniff (Moomin Character)
Sniff () is a character in the Moomin stories created by Tove Jansson. His debut is in the first Moomin-book ''The Moomins and the Great Flood''. In addition to books, he is also a prominent character in the Moomin comics and animations. Sniff in Moomin stories The parents of Sniff are The Muddler (''Rådd-djuret'') and Fuzzy (''Sås-djuret''), childhood friends of Moominpappa. Sniff is considered as a sort of an adopted child of the Moomin family, as Muddler and Fuzzy lost him when he was a small child. Sniff is greedy and a bit of a coward. He is cowardly and timid, so freedom for him means conquering his fears. Agneta Rehal-Johansson considers Sniff a study in the psychology of a small child. She has argued there's an initial sort of sibling rivalry between Sniff and Moomintroll in '' Comet in Moominland'': Sniff, the smaller creature, envies Moomintroll, who has strengths and characteristics Sniff would want himself. Towards the end of the book, Sniff has found a place in ...
