What neural and behavioral mechanisms allow mice to identify food sources, navigate toward them, and initiate consumption? A ...

The vomeronasal organ (VNO) and the olfactory system play crucial roles in the social and reproductive behaviors of rodents. These sensory systems are responsible for detecting pheromones and other ...

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 ...

A novel connectomics approach reveals synaptic connectivity differences between narrowly and broadly tuned olfactory glomeruli in Drosophila melanogaster, providing new insights into glomerular ...

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 ...

The sprawling network of the visual cortex reigned supreme in the field of sensory processing, contributing significantly to our understanding of sensory perception. In contrast, the study of ...

Researchers led by Hokto Kazama at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science (CBS) in Japan have discovered how animals sense whether things smell pleasant or unpleasant, one of the abilities that allow us ...

It is well known that Covid can impair your sense of smell, but a new study has found that those who lose it may never get it ...

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 ...

A new study by the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus demonstrates viruses can inflame and disrupt connections between the olfactory system, and the part of the brain associated with ...
