The same neuron can tell fruit flies to walk toward the smell of rotting fruit and speed up, according to new research from ...

A study published in JAMA Network Open confirmed that microplastics can be present in the olfactory bulbs of the brain in people, based on their analysis of 15 deceased people.

The olfactory system is the pathway between the nose and the brain. The system detects smell by processing the tiny odor molecules that waft off of various objects, such as baking bread or a ...

We gather together this multidisciplinary group across health, social, natural sciences to form a working group on this topic of the role of the olfactory pathway in nature and human well being.

Researchers have identified microplastics in the human olfactory bulb, highlighting a potential pathway for these particles to enter the brain and raise concerns about their long-term neurological ...

Neurology > General Neurology Microplastics Found in Human Olfactory Bulbs — Findings suggest a pathway for plastic fragments to enter the brain. by Judy George, Deputy Managing Editor, MedPage ...

The researchers characterize their findings as an initial step in understanding the far-reaching influence that odors and pheromones may have on reproduction and other behaviors. Advanced Search Home ...

Olfactory bulbs help detect and process scents and odors, passing information from the nose to the brain. Microplastics have been found in human brains , according to recent research that has not ...

Scientists have discovered a neural pathway that links olfaction to locomotion. In all animals, including humans, smell -- the oldest of the five senses -- plays a predominant role in many ...

Two articles in Nature and Science that address fine points of signal transduction in olfactory neurons--the cellular pathways that get turned on in response to an odor--have far-reaching implications ...

A new study is presenting evidence suggesting viral infections in the olfactory system can accelerate the progression of Alzheimer's ... “The whole olfactory pathway goes to the hippocampus.

Researchers hypothesize that the olfactory pathway—connecting the nasal neurons to the brain—may serve as a conduit for microplastics to enter the brain, further underscoring the need for ...
