Viruses can inflame and disrupt connections between the olfactory system, which governs the sense of smell, and the part of the brain associated with memory and learning, possibly accelerating the ...

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 ...

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) ...

Animals depend on their sense of smell to locate food, identify mates and evade danger. In mammals, olfactory perception typically relies on G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR) pathways. Insects, by ...

However, the exact signalling pathways through which the effects are mediated remain unknown," says first author, Doctoral Researcher Laura Mussalo of the Kanninen Lab at the University of Eastern ...

AURORA, Colo. (Dec. 14, 2022) – Viruses can inflame and disrupt connections between the olfactory system, which governs the sense of smell, and the part of the brain associated with memory and ...

A new study has presented more evidence backing up a hypothesis suggesting viral infections in the olfactory system can accelerate the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Instead of focusing on ...
