The interneurons of the olfactory bulb (OB) are characterized by the expression of different calcium-binding proteins, whose specific functions are not fully understood. This is the case of one of the ...

Increasing evidence has indicated that adult neurogenesis contributes to brain plasticity, although function of new neurons is still under debate. In opossums, we performed an olfactory-guided ...

Our sense of smell depends on the transmission of olfactory information from the nose to the olfactory bulb in the brain through the olfactory nerve. And without olfactory bulbs, smell isn't ...

A brain with a normal olfactory bulb on the left and a brain lacking the bulb on the right. Weizmann Institute of Science The way we perceive the world around us is super complex, but researchers seem ...

A handful of left-handed women have excellent senses of smell, despite lacking olfactory bulbs. Is a pair of brain structures called the olfactory bulbs, which are said to encode our sense of smell, ...

Some people may be able to smell even without key structures that relay odor information from the nose to the brain. “I’m not sure that our textbook view of how the [olfactory] system works is right,” ...

Our sense of smell depends on the transmission of olfactory information from the nose to the olfactory bulb in the brain through the olfactory nerve. And without olfactory bulbs, smell isn't possible- ...

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 ...
