The olfactory system is essential for most animals: it supports postnatal survival, detects environmental hazards and mediates emotional, social and nutritional behaviors.
The olfactory system is involved in the detection and processing of odour signals. In humans, the sense of olfaction has a significant influence on ...
A research team has, for the first time, identified at the cellular level why the olfactory system is the first to be damaged ...
DGIST Prof. Moon Cheil’s team reports the discovery of two immune cell mechanisms operating within the brain’s olfactory ...
Exposure to ultrafine particles from traffic alters the expression of many genes in human olfactory mucosa cells, a new study shows. The study is the first to combine an analysis of emissions from ...
Cognitive impairment, a prevalent non-motor symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD), significantly impacts patient quality of life. However, its underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Intriguingly, ...
A research team recently invented a novel, wireless, skin-interfaced olfactory feedback system that can release various odours with miniaturized odor generators (OGs). The new technology integrates ...
It’s clear that genes, receptors and neurons all play a role in detecting odors. But much of how we make sense of what we sniff remains mysterious. A neuroscientist explains. By Daniela Hirschfeld / ...
