Research has shown that HSV-1, the virus responsible for cold sores, can spread into specific areas of the brain and may ...

Many people don’t know just how common the virus that causes cold sores is in society. Unfortunately, the news just got worse ...

As we inhale through the nose or mouth, this little patch captures airborne aromas and flavors as they pass by and transmits the information to the olfactory bulb, which can distinguish the presence ...

Primary neurons in the mammalian olfactory epithelium are continuously renewed, even during adulthood. According to Bauer et al., writing in The Journal of Neuroscience, leukaemia inhibitory ...

in an individual’s olfactory epithelium. This process is mediated by differential rates of turnover (i.e., the rates of birth and survival) among the different neuron subtypes. The mechanisms by which ...

Smell is due to molecules of a particular substance that travel into your nose. These odor molecules contact a tissue called the olfactory epithelium (Fig. 1), which contains olfactory receptor cells ...

High dependency of new neurons on insulin signaling. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news releases posted to EurekAlert! by contributing institutions or ...

Additional imaging studies were performed on olfactory epithelium tissues of non-human primates. Olfactory epithelium of ...

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 ...

Ahh. Let's continue. On the roof of the nasal cavity is the olfactory epithelium, which contains nearly 40 million special receptors that are sensitive to odor molecules traveling through the air.

The odor information received in the olfactory epithelium is converted to a topographic map of multiple glomeruli activated in distinct areas in the olfactory bulb. In order to study how the odor map ...

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, ...
