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 ...

Summary: Researchers found that exercise promotes neuron growth through both biochemical signals (myokines) and physical stretching. Muscle cells, when contracted, release myokines that boost neuron ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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.

Here, we examined the role of UPF3B in the olfactory system. Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis demonstrated considerable heterogeneity of olfactory sensory neuron (OSN) cell populations ...
