Children with CHARGE SYNDROME have a collection of congenital abnormalities including growth retardation and genital hypoplasia, but the endocrine status of these patients is rarely reported. Pinto ...

Our sense of smell depends on the transmission of olfactory information from the nose to the olfactory bulb in the brain through the olfactory nerve. And without olfactory bulbs, smell isn't possible- ...

Researchers at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), a part of the National Institutes of Health, have identified a specific, front-line defense that limits the ...

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 ...

Figure 1: Blockade of I A with 4-AP enhances granule cell excitation by AMPA receptor-mediated synaptic inputs. Figure 3: I A attenuates short but not prolonged current inputs. Figure 2: Properties of ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have discovered a small group of people that seem to defy medical science. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works.

Some people may be able to smell even without key structures that relay odor information from the nose to the brain. “I’m not sure that our textbook view of how the [olfactory] system works is right,” ...

Scientists from the Institut Pasteur and the CNRS were able to make real-time observations over a period of several months that reveal how new adult-born neurons are formed and evolve in the olfactory ...

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 ...

Microplastics were found in the olfactory bulbs of eight of 15 human brains at autopsy. A total of 16 different synthetic polymer particles and fibers were identified in olfactory bulbs. The olfactory ...
