The olfactory system receives intermittent and fluctuating inputs arising from dispersion of odor plumes and active sampling by the animal. Previous work has suggested that the olfactory transduction ...

In high-throughput electron microscopy, a simple method to reduce artifacts helps reveal the architecture of circuits in the developing zebrafish olfactory bulb. Most forms of biological imaging ...

Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure.

Our sense of smell depends on the transmission of olfactory information from the nose to the olfactory bulb in the brain through the olfactory nerve. And without olfactory bulbs, smell isn't possible- ...

A brain with a normal olfactory bulb on the left and a brain lacking the bulb on the right. Weizmann Institute of Science The way we perceive the world around us is super complex, but researchers seem ...

Some people may be able to smell even without key structures that relay odor information from the nose to the brain. “I’m not sure that our textbook view of how the [olfactory] system works is right,” ...

Sense of smell in patients with head and neck cancer began to deteriorate at a radiation dose of 22 Gy and increased in a ...

Problems with olfaction are one of the earliest symptoms of Parkinson’s disease—yet more attention is paid to its motor issues. Now, researchers are looking closer at the human olfactory bulb to ...

This article originally appeared in Yale Engineering Magazine. There are a few ways we perceive food, and not all are particularly well-understood. We know that much of it happens in the olfactory ...

Microplastics were found in the olfactory bulbs of eight of 15 human brains at autopsy. A total of 16 different synthetic polymer particles and fibers were identified in olfactory bulbs. The olfactory ...

Until now, it has been commonly accepted that our sense of smell depends on the transmission of olfactory information from the nose to the olfactory bulb in the brain. Therefore, without olfactory ...

Researchers have discovered a small group of people that seem to defy medical science. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. The ...
