Olfactory dysfunction in MS may be linked to nasal microbial changes, not just central inflammation. MS patients showed lower ...

Microplastics were found in the olfactory bulbs of eight of 15 human brains at autopsy. A total of 16 different synthetic polymer particles and fibers were identified in olfactory bulbs. The olfactory ...

The mammalian olfactory system has evolved a remarkable complexity, integrating specialisations in the nasal architecture that support diverse ecological roles. Central to this system are the turbinal ...

Animals depend on their sense of smell to locate food, identify mates and evade danger. In mammals, olfactory perception typically relies on G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR) pathways. Insects, by ...

While there is limited research, there could be certain health implications, such as an increased risk for neurodegenerative diseases because of exposure to microplastics. Microplastics permeate the ...

Scientists in Brazil found microplastics in the brain tissue of cadavers, according to a new study published Monday in the journal JAMA Network Open. Mounting research over the last few years has ...

What neural and behavioral mechanisms allow mice to identify food sources, navigate toward them, and initiate consumption? A research team led by Prof. Zhang Yunfeng from the Institute of Zoology of ...
