To advance the understanding of olfaction, visualizing the binding of odorants to olfactory receptors remains a challenge. By resolving the structure of olfactory receptors, a Franco-American team ...

Odorants, mostly organic molecules that are released into the womb or in our atmospheric environment after birth, are detected by specialized olfactory receptor cells in the nasal cavity.

and that all the neurons expressing a particular receptor link to a dedicated olfactory nerve cluster (called a glomerulus) in the antennal lobe of the mosquito’s brain. However, there had been ...

which express an olfactory receptor called OR2AT4, along with at least four others. The researchers found that Sandalore, a synthetic sandalwood oil used in aromatherapy, perfumes, and skin care ...

A pioneering study investigating the brain activity of dogs during scent detection has unveiled crucial insights into their ...

To probe deeper, Université de Montréal Ph.D. candidate Morganne Masse decided to research a little-known syndrome related to the perception of smell, called olfactory reference syndrome (ORS).

“The formulation activates ectopic olfactory receptors OR51E1 and OR51E2, free fatty acid receptors FFAR2 and FFAR3, and hydroxycarboxylic acid receptor GPR109A, to induce the secretion of ...

Many patients suffer from an olfactory disorder - especially after a Covid 19 disease. Targeted olfactory training can help ...

The authors' demonstration that impaired olfactory perception reduces caterpillar performance and increases susceptibility to parasitism is solid. These findings highlight the ecological significance ...

Lepousez studied olfactory sensory perception and its health ... CO2 is also an irritant gas that stimulates the same receptors as mustard. He noted, “That’s why it stings.” ...
