Olfactory receptors, present on the surface of sensory neurons in the nasal cavity, recognize odorant molecules and relay this information to the brain. How do these neurons manage to detect a ...

A new study published in Nature reveals how olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) achieve extraordinary precision in selecting which genes to express. The mechanism is surprising in that it involves ...

Insulin-dependent maturation of newly generated olfactory sensory neurons after injury. eneuro , 2021; ENEURO.0168-21.2021 DOI: 10.1523/ENEURO.0168-21.2021 Cite This Page : ...

Olfactory sensory neurons in the antennae project axons to glomeruli in the antennal lobe. Projection neurons then connect the antennal lobe to the mushroom body and lateral protocerebrum 3.

Olfactory sensory neurons, which sit in the mucus in the back of the nose and relay data into the brain via axons (fingerlike projections that transmit information out from the cell body), ...

Cloning by nuclear transplantation has been successfully carried out in various mammals, including mice. Until now mice have not been cloned from post-mitotic cells such as neurons. Here, we have ...

Using a novel PET radiotracer researchers have found a way to quantify olfactory sensory neurons and thus improve measurements of olfactory health. Share: Facebook Twitter Pinterest LinkedIN Email.

The olfactory sensory neurons connect your senses of smell and taste. When you chew food, a smell is released and picked up by these neurons through the second channel in your throat.

New research from UC Davis shows why a species of tiny worm can learn to ignore an odor — information that could have implications for how human memories are formed. Scientists have known for decades ...

These are live olfactory sensory neurons, the cells responsible for detecting odors. Cells infected by a common cold virus (green) carrying cilia genes can now make cilia (red).

Olfactory sensory neurons achieve precise expression of a single olfactory receptor gene by forming stable, solid-like nucleoprotein condensates, rather than liquid-like droplets.
