Animal reproduction is supported by the integration of various external and internal processes. These processes include a combination of perceived sensory cues, behaviors and hormone secretion. In ...

Researchers at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), a part of the National Institutes of Health, have identified a specific, front-line defense that limits the ...

The olfactory bulb (OB) neurons establish a complex network that ensures the correct processing of the olfactory inputs. Moreover, the OB presents a lifelong addition of new neurons into its existing ...

The interneurons of the olfactory bulb (OB) are characterized by the expression of different calcium-binding proteins, whose specific functions are not fully understood. This is the case of one of the ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 118, No. 42 (October 19, 2021), pp. 1-12 (12 pages) Determining the valence of an odor to guide rapid ...

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 ...

Microplastics were found in the olfactory bulbs of eight of 15 human brains at autopsy, a case series showed. A total of 16 synthetic polymer particles and fibers were identified, reported Luís ...

A team of researchers at University College Dublin has found evidence that suggests some dinosaurs may have had a very strong sense of smell. In their paper published in Proceedings of the Royal ...

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 ...

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,” ...
