The human olfactory system discriminates between thousands of odors by interacting specifically with olfactory receptors on ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba and their collaborators have conducted a comprehensive analysis of the olfactory receptor repertoire of the hagfish (Eptatretus burgeri), a jawless vertebrate.

A research team recently invented a novel, wireless, skin-interfaced olfactory feedback system that can release various odours with miniaturized odor generators (OGs). The new technology integrates ...

Dr. Richard Costanzo discusses deep brain stimulation research about the sense of smell. This is an in-depth interview with Dr. Richard Costanzo, professor emeritus with Virginia Commonwealth ...

In a recent review article published in Frontiers in Molecular Science, researchers discussed the links between genetic, physical, and neurological conditions and olfactory loss and inflammation. They ...

Viruses can inflame and disrupt connections between the olfactory system, which governs the sense of smell, and the part of the brain associated with memory and learning, possibly accelerating the ...

In a recent article published in Scientific Reports, researchers investigated the changes in olfactory bulb volume and structural connectivity of the brain in patients with olfactory dysfunction (OD) ...
