A recent review by researchers at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM) shows Chlamydia pneumoniae (Cpn) and ...

Researchers have found evidence of microplastics in the olfactory bulbs of the human brain for the first time, after detecting them in the colon and the bloodstream.

The tiny scraps of plastic were found in the olfactory bulb, the part of the brain responsible for processing smell.

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.

In mice and other mammals, the olfactory and vomeronasal systems are distinct pathways for sensing chemicals in the environment.

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 ...

The new findings raise concerns among researchers that the olfactory pathway might allow microplastics to access the brain and potentially reach brain areas beyond the olfactory bulb.

A first step was made by showing the existence of a neural pathway connecting the olfactory and motor centers of the brain in invertebrates with the worm C. elegans and in vertebrates with the ...

Knowing that a sensory-based threat memory pathway rooted in the primary olfactory (piriform) cortex is hyperactive in anxious individuals brings us a step closer to helping people with crippling ...

A new study has presented more evidence backing up a hypothesis suggesting viral infections in the olfactory system can accelerate the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Instead of focusing ...
