The physiological basics of the olfactory neuro-epithelium
B-ENT, 2009 The physiological basics of the olfactory neuro-epithelium. All living organisms can detect and identify chemical substances in their environment. The olfactory epithelium is covered by a mucus layer which is essential for the function of the olfactory ...

A balance of BMP and notch activity regulates neurogenesis and olfactory nerve formation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Although the function of the adult olfactory system has been thoroughly studied, the molecular mechanisms regulating the initial formation of the olfactory nerve, the first cranial nerve, remain poorly defined.

Glycobiology of the olfactory system [PDF]
, 1998 The olfactory system is a highly plastic region of the nervous system. Continuous remodeling of neuronal circuits in the olfactory bulb takes place throughout life as a result of constant turnover of primary sensory olfactory neurons in the periphery ...

Oscillatory Sequences of Firing in the Locust Olfactory System: Mechanisms and Functional Significance [PDF]
, 1999 What neural codes does the brain use to represent and process sensory information? Stimulus-evoked oscillatory synchronization of neuronal activity has been observed in many systems, yet the possible functions of such rhythmic synchronization in neural ...

Ca2+-activated Cl- channels of the ClCa family express in the cilia of a subset of rat olfactory sensory neurons. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) channel is considered a key constituent of odor transduction. Odorant binding to a specific receptor in the cilia of olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) triggers a cAMP cascade that mediates the opening of a cationic cyclic ...
