Study sheds light on why some people with autism experience aversion to certain smells and the neural mechanisms that underlie olfactory processing in those with ASD.
Alzheimer's disease onset may be accelerated by viruses that inflame and disrupt signals from the olfactory system to the hippocampus, a new study reports.
A new brain map charts the way sensory information is routed between olfactory-processing areas of the brain.
A newly discovered second stem cell population in the mouse brain is responsible for the production of new neurons in the olfactory bulb of adult mice.
Study reveals how olfactory neurons adapt to the surrounding environment.
A new imaging technique captures information about the function and structure of brain tissue at the subcellular level.
Anosmia, the loss of the sense of smell which is a common symptom of COVID-19, may be a secondary consequence of immune system inflammation rather than a direct action of the virus.
Preliminary new findings are raising concerns about the long-term effect of mild COVID-19 infection on neurological health and cognition.
The olfactory system works in combination with the brain's reward and aversion systems in both learning and memory formation.
Study reveals how innate valence is encoded in the nervous system of mice.
Both the orthonasal and retronasal routes, in addition to our taste buds, shape our taste perception of foods.
Coronavirus can cause several significant neurological disorders, and the pandemic has been linked to a rise in people reporting mental health problems such as depression and anxiety. Researchers examine how COVID-19 affects brain and mental health and provides some techniques which can help to improve well-being during the pandemic.
