The delicate tissues that line our nasal passages form a barrier between the environment and our brain. However, current mouse brain dissection techniques usually toss aside this tissue, even though ...

The sprawling network of the visual cortex reigned supreme in the field of sensory processing, contributing significantly to our understanding of sensory perception. In contrast, the study of ...

The way that the sense of smell works is that olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) are wired up to olfactory receptors (ORs) in ...

Using computational and theoretical models shows how adult-neurogenesis and spike-timing-dependent plasticity balance the flexibility and stability of odor representations.

Howard Hughes Medical Institute researchers have discovered that pheromones essential for mating behavior in mice are recognized by the nose and not by the vomeronasal system, as researchers had long ...

Using spatial transcriptomics and single-cell sequencing, researchers mapped out gene expression patterns in the neurons of ...

A novel bilateral compensatory mechanism important for the activity of olfactory glomeruli in Xenopus tropicalis tadpoles was uncovered.

A research team recently invented a novel, wireless, skin-interfaced olfactory feedback system that can release various odours with miniaturized odor generators (OGs). The new technology integrates ...

Taiwanese scientists have linked abnormalities in the olfactory region of mouse brains with behaviors connected to autism spectrum disorder, using a novel artificial intelligence (AI)-based brain ...
