In people with epilepsy undergoing a pre-surgical monitoring technique called stereo-electroencephalography, electrical leads from a type of depth electrode are implanted throughout the brain. Kehl ...

The olfactory sensory neuron (OSN) system represents a paradigm of specialised gene regulation, wherein individual neurons select and maintain a singular olfactory receptor (OR) from a vast genomic ...

For millions of people, losing their sense of smell quietly reshapes daily life. Meals lose nuance, familiar places feel ...

The signaling mechanisms underlying the transition from stem cells to olfactory neurons has been described. Cellular differentiation of stem cells into specialized cells requires many steps, including ...

In a recent study published in Nature, researchers investigated the response of individual neurons in specific regions of the brain to olfactory cues. Through neural activity recordings during odor ...

New research shows that women have more cells in the olfactory bulb – the area of the brain that is dedicated to sense of smell – than men. The authors of the study – published in PLOS ONE – suggest ...
