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 ...

"Our original hypothesis was that we may find some bacteria in the part of the brain called the olfactory bulb, which is the one part of the brain connected to the nose," Salinas said. "However ...

Together, these data indicate that the human brain contains an RMS consisting of migrating neuroblasts. The researchers also used a BrdU antibody to stain olfactory bulb sections taken from the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 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.

Functional fragrance, which many may also call aromatherapy, uses the power of scent to influence your brain chemistry. It’s ...

Olfactory bulb astrocytes mediate sensory circuit processing through Sox9 in the mouse brain. Nat Commun. 2021 Sep 1;12(1):5230. Pekarek BT, Hunt PJ, Belfort BDW, Liu G, Arenkiel BR. Imaging and ...
