Smell training can improve memory and may stimulate areas in the brain linked to cognition. Your sense of smell is closely ...

A study published in JAMA Network Open confirmed that microplastics can be present in the olfactory bulbs of the brain in people, based on their analysis of 15 deceased people. While more research ...

16 in the JAMA Network Open journal explains how microplastics in the human brain can affect an important part of our daily ...

Research suggests smell training may help improve both cognitive and neuronal functions. Olfactory training could be an ...

The threads and microplastic pieces were discovered in the olfactory bulb, the part of the nose responsible for detecting ...

This important study partially fills the gap in the knowledge of olfaction at the level of the Anterior Olfactory Nucleus (AON) and Piriform Cortex with functional magnetic resonance imaging, ...

Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia and it affects around 944,000 people in the UK. A study has found a ...

The odor molecules are thought to activate sensory neurons in the nose, which then send signals to the olfactory bulb. The signals are thought to travel from here to regions of the brain such as ...

Olfactory dysfunction links to 139 conditions, with inflammation playing a key role in memory decline and cognitive issues.

The prevailing hypothesis is that it results from damage to nerve fibres that carry signals from receptors in the nose to terminals (known as glomeruli) of the olfactory bulb in the brain.

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 ...

Our nose has a direct connection to the brain through the olfactory nerve and olfactory bulb. The olfactory nerve is the shortest cranial nerve. It is the shortest distance from the outside world ...
