These findings challenge a long-standing dogma in the field and suggest that different types of receptors, that is, olfactory and ionotropic receptors, can be co-expressed in the same chemosensory ...

The olfactory bulb is the part of the central nervous system that receives olfactory information from the olfactory receptor neurons and relays the information to subcortical and cortical areas of ...

In a recent review article published in Frontiers in Molecular Science, researchers discussed the links between genetic, physical, and neurological conditions and olfactory loss and inflammation.

Olfactory receptors are able to detect air-borne odour molecules that enter the nasal cavity and bind to olfactory receptors. The activation of olfactory receptors results in olfactory receptor ...

This important study partially fills the gap in the knowledge of olfaction at the level of the Anterior Olfactory Nucleus (AON) and Piriform Cortex with functional magnetic resonance imaging, ...

Simulation of neural systems. Examples: simulating (aka "modeling") many compartments of a single neuron, large networks of model neurons with simple individual behavior, dynamical systems analysis of ...

However, it's still unclear how this process causes neuron damage. As described in a study published in Nature Communications, Oregon Health & Science University researchers have developed new ...

Researchers reveal a link between olfactory loss and inflammation in 139 medical conditions. The researchers say loss of smell is an early sign of numerous neurological and bodily diseases.

One set of readings was taken when the volunteers were 9 or 10, with a follow-up set taken a couple of years later. The comparisons revealed lower neuron densities in certain regions of the cerebral ...
