As we inhale through the nose or mouth, this little patch captures airborne aromas and flavors as they pass by and transmits the information to the olfactory bulb, which can distinguish the presence ...

A new brain imaging study from the ELTE NAP Canine Brain Research group has revealed that age and brain shape affect how ...

Smell is due to molecules of a particular substance that travel into your nose. These odor molecules contact a tissue called the olfactory epithelium (Fig. 1), which contains olfactory receptor cells ...

There's a scientific reason for the feline reaction: Catnip contains the oil nepetalactone, which binds to the cat's olfactory receptors in the nose and throat and causes a euphoric reaction for cats.

in an individual’s olfactory epithelium. This process is mediated by differential rates of turnover (i.e., the rates of birth and survival) among the different neuron subtypes. The mechanisms by which ...

Researchers at Columbus-based Ohio State University have designed and developed the world’s first noninvasive devices aimed ...

Ahh. Let's continue. On the roof of the nasal cavity is the olfactory epithelium, which contains nearly 40 million special receptors that are sensitive to odor molecules traveling through the air.

A new brain imaging study from the ELTE NAP Canine Brain Research group has revealed that age and brain shape affect how ...

Cats have way more powerful senses of smell than humans, she said. They have about 20 square centimeters of olfactory epithelium, the tissue in the nose that detects scent and sends that ...
