When we think about Parkinson’s disease, most of us picture trembling hands or a shuffling walk. But what if your nose could ...

Researchers at Bar-Ilan University have developed an optical sensor capable of remote sensing dogs' brain activity in three key regions—the olfactory bulb, hippocampus, and amygdala—that play a ...

The olfactory bulb is a key center for both neurogenesis, the birth of new neurons and for memory. Can you recall powerful, ...

Recently, the researchers identified two distinct subpopulations of mitral/tufted (M/T) cells within the OB that project to the anterior piriform cortex (aPC) and entorhinal cortex (EC). These neural ...

The odorants are then transformed into spatiotemporal patterns of neural activity in the olfactory bulb and central nervous system, and decoded by the brain to generate a perceptual ‘odour ...

Some of the virus reaches and infects the olfactory bulb, the center in the brain connected to the sense of smell, by flowing up from the mouth to the nose. The research team determined that if ...
