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, ...

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 ...

Odorants binding to olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) trigger bursts of action potentials, providing the brain with its only experience of the olfactory environment. Our recordings made in vivo from ...
