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, ...

The odorants are then transformed into spatiotemporal patterns of neural activity in the olfactory bulb and central nervous system, and decoded by the brain to generate a perceptual ‘odour ...

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 ...
