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 ...

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 ...

Seven primary odors are distinguished, each of them by an appropriately shaped receptor at the olfactory nerve endings By John E. Amoore , James W. Johnston Jr. & Martin Rubin Join Our Community ...

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.

With an olfactory system far more developed than humans, dogs can detect a broader range of odors, with specialized receptors ...

The biophysics of an unusual synaptic arrangement within the olfactory bulb suggests a way in which rapidly inactivating potassium channels could modulate the timing of oscillations that underlie ...

Lepousez studied olfactory ... as the mustard receptor, detects irritant compounds and plays a role in pain and inflammation. In the mouth, it is strongly expressed in the nerve endings of the ...
