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 ...

The olfactory bulb is densely innervated by serotonergic fibers. A study now shows that serotonin activates periglomerular interneurons, which release GABA to reduce transmitter release from olfactory ...

Sense of smell in patients with head and neck cancer began to deteriorate at a radiation dose of 22 Gy and increased in a ...

Nine out of ten patients with Parkinson’s disease suffer from defects of the sense of smell in the early stages of the disease - often years before the appearance of the motor symptoms that are ...

Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure.

This article originally appeared in Yale Engineering Magazine. There are a few ways we perceive food, and not all are particularly well-understood. We know that much of it happens in the olfactory ...

Research reveals five women with no olfactory bulbs have a normal sense of smell, challenging previous neuroscience findings. According to most neuroscience textbooks, no OB should mean no sense of ...

Problems with olfaction are one of the earliest symptoms of Parkinson’s disease—yet more attention is paid to its motor issues. Now, researchers are looking closer at the human olfactory bulb to ...

In a recent article published in Scientific Reports, researchers investigated the changes in olfactory bulb volume and structural connectivity of the brain in patients with olfactory dysfunction (OD) ...

Researchers have analysed the degree of preservation in the skeletal muscles of paraplegic rats treated with a transplant of Olfactory bulb glial cells (OBG). Pioneering research established that ...

We rely on smell more than most people may realize. Across mammals, scent guides feeding, warns of danger, and shapes social ...
