Gonadal hormones, but not sex, affect the acquisition and maintenance of a Go/No-Go odor discrimination task in mice [PDF]

, 2018
In mice, olfaction is crucial for identifying social odors (pheromones) that signal the presence of suitable mates. We used a custom-built olfactometer and a thirst-motivated olfactory discrimination Go/No-Go (GNG) task to ask whether discrimination of ...

Manganese Neurotoxicity and Familial Disorders of Manganese Transport

Annals of the Child Neurology Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Manganese is the 12th most common element in the Earth's crust and is an essential industrial component. Biologically, this metal plays an important role as a constituent of numerous enzymes. While manganese is required for normal biochemical and physiological processes, manganese excess can lead to significant toxicity, particularly to the ...

An experimental biomimetic platform for artificial olfaction.

PLoS ONE, 2008
Artificial olfactory systems have been studied for the last two decades mainly from the point of view of the features of olfactory neuron receptor fields. Other fundamental olfaction properties have only been episodically considered in artificial systems.

Diverse Spatial, Temporal, and Sexual Expression of Recently Duplicated Androgen-Binding Protein Genes in \u3ci\u3eMus musculus\u3c/i\u3e [PDF]

, 2005
Background The genes for salivary androgen-binding protein (ABP) subunits have been evolving rapidly in ancestors of the house mouse Mus musculus, as evidenced both by recent and extensive gene duplication and by high ratios of nonsynonymous to ...

Pre‐oviposition development of the brown anole (Anolis sagrei)

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The brown anole, Anolis sagrei, has emerged as a representative squamate species for developmental studies during the past decades. Novel functional tools have been established to manipulate embryogenesis through genome editing or the introduction of small molecule inhibitors, and their effective use requires a thorough ...

Perception space - The final frontier [PDF]

, 2005
Mapping the complex sensory behavior of animals, such as smell in bees, to relevant neural activity provides clues into how animals perceive and respond to the world through their ...

The Aquaporin-4 Expression and Localization in the Olfactory Epithelium Modulate the Odorant-Evoked Responses and Olfactory-Driven Behavior. [PDF]

Glia
Main Points AQP4ex and OAP‐forming AQP4M23 are expressed in non‐neuronal cells of the olfactory epithelium. AQP4ex‐KO and OAP‐null mice show reduced cell density, including OSNs, and impaired odor responses and behavior, with AQP4ex emerging as key regulator.

Ascl1 (Mash1) Knockout Perturbs Differentiation of Nonneuronal Cells in Olfactory Epithelium

PLoS ONE, 2012
The embryonic olfactory epithelium (OE) generates only a very few olfactory sensory neurons when the basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor, ASCL1 (previously known as MASH1) is eliminated by gene mutation. We have closely examined the structure and

EZH2 negatively regulates IL‐8 expression in human nasal epithelial cells through its histone methyltransferase activity

Eye &ENT Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), characterized by persistent inflammation of the nasal and sinus mucosa, exhibits an escalating global prevalence and incidence. Interleukin‐8 (IL‐8), a key chemokine driving neutrophil recruitment, is implicated in CRS pathogenesis.

Photoactivation of olfactory sensory neurons does not affect action potential conduction in individual trigeminal sensory axons innervating the rodent nasal cavity.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Olfactory and trigeminal chemosensory systems reside in parallel within the mammalian nose. Psychophysical studies in people indicate that these two systems interact at a perceptual level.
