Of all the senses, olfaction — smell — must be the most primal and evocative, the most magically elusive. With just around ...

The odorants are then transformed into spatiotemporal patterns of neural activity in the olfactory bulb and central nervous system, and decoded by the brain to generate a perceptual ‘odour ...

During the development of the olfactory epithelium (OE), olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) express only one member of the odorant receptor (OR) gene family, and O ...

Throughout the postnatal life of rodents, neural progenitor cells migrate from the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the forebrain through the rostral migratory system (RMS) to the olfactory bulb.

"What is worrying is the capacity of such particles to be internalized by cells and alter how our bodies function." ...

A dog’s sense of smell is nothing short of extraordinary. While humans primarily rely on sight to understand the world, dogs ...

One of the studies commissioned by the World Wide Fund for Nature and conducted by the University of Newcastle states that ...

Some of the virus reaches and infects the olfactory bulb, the center in the brain connected to the sense of smell, by flowing up from the mouth to the nose. The research team determined that if ...

The axons of all olfactory sensory neurons that express a particular odorant receptor subtype project to one of two stereotyped positions within the olfactory bulb. Surprisingly, the odorant receptor ...

"We will look for changes in the size of the olfactory bulb - an area above the nose where the smell nerves join together and connect to the brain. "We will also look at activity in areas of the ...
