The olfactory system is the sensory system that is responsible for the sense of smell (olfaction). It receives, processes and interprets odour information. The microanatomy of the axonal ...

To record olfactory-nerve-evoked responses, monophasic square pulses (200 μs ... After complete incorporation of the soma, the pipette was carefully removed from the neuron to perform an outside-out ...

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 ...

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, ...

Activating the astrocyte ensemble specifically stimulates synaptic activity or communication in the corresponding neuron engram. This astrocyte-neuron communication flows both ways; astrocytes and ...

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 ...

As they’re battery-free and actuated noninvasively by light, thousands of them could be deployed in the body simultaneously. This groundbreaking approach could restore neuron function by acting as ...

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.

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.

"The olfactory system has the only direct superhighway access to the memory centers and the emotional center of the brain," Michael Leon, PhD, a professor emeritus of neurobiology and behavior at the ...
