Without olfactory bulbs, a person should be unable to process odors, researchers had assumed. In a study of healthy, left-handed women, neuroscientist Noam Sobel of the Weizmann Institute of Science ...

A study published in JAMA Network Open confirmed that microplastics can be present in the olfactory bulbs of the brain in people, based on their analysis of 15 deceased people.

Another measure of an animal's smelling ability may be the size of its olfactory bulb, the brain region responsible for processing odors. Dogs, which are famous for their scent-tracking skills, have ...
