A recent review by researchers at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM) shows Chlamydia pneumoniae (Cpn) and ...

Some Women Without the Brain’s Olfactory Bulbs Can Still Smell. Scientists Say It Makes No Sense Left-handed women missing the brain structures were still able to smell as well–or better ...

A team of researchers have uncovered a sliver of the population who have no apparent olfactory bulbs yet can somehow still smell. Extensive tests of two of these people proved they could identify ...

Microplastics were found in the olfactory bulbs of eight of 15 human brains at autopsy, a case series showed. A total of 16 synthetic polymer particles and fibers were identified, reported Luís ...

Some women who appear to lack the brain structures that relay scent messages still have an average sense of smell, and scientists have no idea how.

The olfactory glomeruli represent a remarkable example of nervous system organization — each glomerulus is innervated exclusively by sensory neurons expressing one of more than 1,000 olfactory ...

The tiny scraps of plastic were found in the olfactory bulb, the part of the brain responsible for processing smell.

The olfactory bulb transmits smell information from the nose to the brain, and is thus necessary for a proper sense of smell. Scent molecules activate olfactory receptors and signals travel up the ...

Scientists have discovered a form of synaptic memory in the olfactory bulb, the part of the brain that processes the sense of smell.

Neurons in the nose respond to inhaled odors and send this information to a region of the brain referred to as the olfactory bulb.

A 29-year-old woman's brain scans revealed she was missing the region needed to be able to smell, yet tests showed she could sniff out odors even better than the average person.
