The olfactory system is the sensory system that is responsible for the sense of smell (olfaction). It receives, processes and interprets odour information. Neural circuitry mechanism which ...

In fact we can sense flavour only as an aroma because our flavour-sensitive nerve cells are concentrated in a small, postage stamp-sized area at the top of the nose called the olfactory area which ...

In recent years, there has been growing interest in the association between neurodegenerative diseases and olfactory dysfunction (OD). Characterized by a decline in the ability to detect or identify ...

This manuscript presents a valuable study utilizing an in vitro organoid system to recapitulate the developmental process of the olfactory epithelium. The authors provided solid evidence indicating ...

The greater petrosal nerve branches off of the facial nerve in the skull. Along with a chain of other nerves, it innervates (provides nerve function to) the lacrimal gland, which produces tears. The ...

The cochlear nerve, also known as part of the vestibulocochlear or auditory nerve, is a sensory nerve responsible for hearing. It travels from the cochlea, a spiral-shaped structure in the inner ear, ...

WASHINGTON − The State Department's Global Engagement Center, the highly touted nerve center for coordinating U.S. efforts to counter foreign disinformation – especially by Russia and China ...

If you have seizures which can’t be controlled with epilepsy medicines, and you are not able to have epilepsy brain surgery, then vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) therapy may be an option for you. The ...

Nerves provides tooling and libraries for building small, self-contained software images using the rock-solid Erlang virtual machine hardware support of Linux, and happy development experience of ...

In prominent models of olfactory bulb circuitry, inhibition of mitral cells by local interneurons sharpens odor tuning and provides contrast enhancement. Mitral cell inhibition occurs at both mitral ...
