The signals generated by our smell sensation are carried by two cranial nerves (olfactory and trigeminal) to the various cortical regions involved in the processing of olfactory information as it ...

Researchers say that the olfactory pathway can be an entry point for microplastics to enter the brain. Dr Thais Mauad, lead author of the study and associate professor of pathology at the ...

Recently, the researchers identified two distinct subpopulations of mitral/tufted (M/T) cells within the OB that project to the anterior piriform cortex (aPC) and entorhinal cortex (EC). These neural ...

This unexpected early warning sign relates to a change in sensory perception, specifically your sense of smell. A declining ability to identify common odors may signal the very earliest stages of ...

And the olfactory system has the striking ability ... Today, Firmenich is engaged in research on the pathways of odour and taste perception, from the physiochemistry of emission of a fragrance ...

This valuable study shows that an odorant that is typically thought of as a repellant actually activates both attractant and repellant olfactory neurons in C. elegans. Solid evidence is provided that ...

Fruit flies with genetic mutations that severely reduce sleep show enhanced performance in olfactory memory tasks, ...

Sensory pathways in Drosophila to detect and avoid 2MT are shown. Flies escape from 2MT through olfactory, taste, and nociceptive sensory pathways. This study identified that TRPA1 expressed in ...
