A study published in JAMA Network Open confirmed that microplastics can be present in the olfactory bulbs of the brain in people, based on their analysis of 15 deceased people. While more research ...

Research suggests smell training may help improve both cognitive and neuronal functions. Olfactory training could be an ...

16 in the JAMA Network Open journal explains how microplastics in the human brain can affect an important part of our daily ...

The odor molecules are thought to activate sensory neurons in the nose, which then send signals to the olfactory bulb. The signals are thought to travel from here to regions of the brain such as ...

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, ...

They have even shown up in human breast milk and blood. Last week, they turned up again in eight people’s olfactory bulbs, a brain structure crucial for smell. These plastic fragments are so ...

When inhaled, scent molecules interact with receptors on the olfactory bulb, which connects directly to the brain, stimulating responses that could address a variety of health conditions.

Enhanced neuronal incorporation in the olfactory bulb has also been observed after ... in cell proliferation occurs in many different brain regions that surround the ventricular system 100.

Our nose has a direct connection to the brain through the olfactory nerve and olfactory bulb. The olfactory nerve is the shortest cranial nerve. It is the shortest distance from the outside world ...
