How do you judge the nose of an animal you can never meet? For long-extinct mammals like early whales and sabertooths, behavioral clues have vanished with time, and soft tissues rarely survive. Now, a ...
Introduction: After total laryngectomy, decreased olfactory function and olfactory bulb volume shrinkage have been reported to occur due to olfactory deprivation caused by nasal airflow interruption.
This important work substantially advances our understanding of how accessory olfactory bulb neurons respond to social odor cues across the estrous cycle, showing that responses vary with the strain ...
One of the intriguing features of the mammalian olfactory system is the integration of newly generated sensory neurons and interneurons in the olfactory bulb throughout our life. The continuous ...
Recent autopsies revealed that there may be a sneaky way that microplastics are entering our brains — via our sense of smell. In their study, which was published in the journal JAMA Network Open, the ...
ABSTRACT: Research Background: Aging in mammals is characterized by a gradual decline in the physiological functions and responses of organs and tissues. The African grasscutter (Thryonomys ...

This study provides useful information on the potential role of ERbB4 expression in parvalbumin-positive cells on olfactory behaviour and circuit dynamics in the olfactory bulb. The question is timely ...
Searching for new ways to help my senior patients improve and maintain cognitive functions, I came across an interesting research study from the University of California Irvine (Woo, C. et al. 2023) ...
Microplastics have been found in numerous human organs, and a new autopsy study finds the brain might now be included on that list 8 of 15 autopsies showed evidence of microplastics in the brain's ...
Scientists in Brazil found microplastics in the brain tissue of cadavers, according to a new study published Monday in the journal JAMA Network Open. Mounting research over the last few years has ...
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 / ...
