Johns Hopkins researchers have found that transplants of mouse stem cells taken from the adult brain's olfactory bulb can delay symptoms and death in a mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ...

The biophysics of an unusual synaptic arrangement within the olfactory bulb suggests a way in which rapidly inactivating potassium channels could modulate the timing of oscillations that underlie odor ...

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- ...

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) ...

Results from a new mouse study by researchers from the NYU Grossman School of Medicine and the University of Szeged demonstrate that restoring certain signals in a brain region that processes smells ...

Scientists discover the anatomical link for the loss of smell in Parkinson's disease. The first symptom of Parkinson's disease is often an impaired sense of smell. This neurodegenerative disease ...
