Profile of the blind subjects.

Note: EB: early blind; all subjects were male and right handed; (*): no additional details available.
(**) Behavioral performance in a variety of higher-level odor processing tasks (global percentage of correct answers) before fMRI (see text and Table S1 for details and scores of each task). (°) Behavioral performance in age-matched control was not available for this subject. As subjects EB5 and EB10 had very poor vision from birth and underwent a bilateral eye enucleation by the age of 18–24 months, they were considered early blind. They did not remember any visual experience.

注：EB（early blind，早期失明）；所有受试者均为男性且为右利手；(*)：无额外可用细节。
(**) 功能磁共振成像（functional magnetic resonance imaging，fMRI）前，受试者在多项高级嗅觉加工任务中的行为表现（整体正确率占比）（具体细节与各项任务的得分详见正文及附表S1）。
(°) 该受试者的年龄匹配对照组的行为表现数据未获获取。鉴于受试者EB5与EB10自出生起便存在重度视力障碍，并于18至24月龄时接受了双侧眼球摘除术，因此将其归类为早期失明群体，且其无任何视觉记忆。
