Anatomy of the olfactory mucosa.

Handbook of Clinical Neurology, 2019
The classic notion that humans are microsmatic animals was born from comparative anatomy studies showing the reduction in the size of both the olfactory bulbs and the limbic brain relative to the whole brain. However, the human olfactory system contains a number of neurons comparable to that of most other mammals, and humans have exquisite olfactory ...

Olfactory mucosa histological findings in laryngectomees [PDF]

open access: possibleEuropean Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, 2003
After total laryngectomy, the patients often report immediate and marked olfactory deficit. The aim of this study was to determine whether hyposmia in laryngectomees reflects olfactory epithelial damage. Ten laryngectomized patients and ten rhinologically normal subjects were subjected to olfactory testing, after which histological examination of ...

The human olfactory mucosa

European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, 2009
Studies of the tissues of the human olfactory mucosa have been performed to investigate olfactory dysfunction and, more recently, olfactory mucosa has attracted a novel interest of investigators because it can be used as an early marker of neurodegenerative conditions of the brain and as a source of multipotent neural stem cells, with applications in ...

Ultrastructure of mouse olfactory mucosa [PDF]

open access: possibleAmerican Journal of Anatomy, 1967
AbstractThe fine structure of the olfactory mucosa has been investigated with particular reference to those aspects of the morphology which may be significant in chemoreception. Morphology of the supporting cells of the epithelium indicate that they function in mucus production or regulation.

Human Olfactory Mucosa in Schizophrenia

Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 1998
Recent evidence indicates that developmental anomalies may underlie some symptoms of schizophrenia, while psychophysical studies have demonstrated olfactory deficits in this disease. The postmortem olfactory mucosa of elderly schizophrenic patients was examined to characterize the molecular phenotype of this tissue. The distribution of developmentally

New structure, the ?olfactory pit,? in human olfactory mucosa

The Journal of Comparative Neurology, 1997
A whole-mount immunocytochemical method was devised to study the olfactory receptor neurons on the surface of the human olfactory mucosal sheet. Antibodies to neuron-specific tubulin and/or microtubule-associated protein 5 and phosphorylated neurofilament protein were used.

Immunopathology of olfactory mucosa following injury to the olfactory bulb

The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 1990
AbstractRemoval of the olfactory bulb was performed on rats in an attempt to elucidate the processes of olfactory dysfunction following head injury. Degeneration and regeneration of the olfactory mucosa were examined, histopathologically and immunohistochemically. We used antisera to olfactory marker protein (OMP) and neuron specific enolase (NSE) as a

Immunohistochemical Examination of Olfactory Mucosa in Patients with Olfactory Disturbance

Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 1990
The olfactory mucosa was examined by immunohistochemistry in patients with olfactory disturbance: anosmia due to choanal atresia and chronic sinusitis, early-stage common cold, late-stage common cold, and head trauma. The results indicate that the olfactory mucosa of patients with olfactory disturbance shows specific kinds of immunoreactive patterns ...

Pathology of the Olfactory Mucosa: Implications for the Treatment of Olfactory Dysfunction

The Laryngoscope, 2004
AbstractObjective: The pathology of the olfactory mucosa is poorly understood; however, most cases of hyposmia and anosmia appear to be associated with a decline in the number of functioning mature olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs). Under normal conditions, OSNs undergo apoptotic cell death at a baseline rate likely secondary to their exposed location ...
