eLife, 2018 Both passive exposure and active learning through reinforcement enhance fine sensory discrimination abilities. In the olfactory system, this enhancement is thought to occur partially through the integration of adult-born inhibitory interneurons resulting

Nasal airflow engages central olfactory processing and shapes olfactory percepts [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2020 Binding of airborne odour molecules to olfactory receptors at the top of the nasal cavity gives rise to our rich olfactory experience. Whether airflow plays a role in human olfactory perception beyond the transportation of odorants is scantly known. Combining psychophysical measures with strict controls of nasal flow parameters, we demonstrate in four ...

Electroolfactogram (EOG) Recording in the Mouse Main Olfactory Epithelium [PDF]
, 2013 Olfactory sensory neurons in the main olfactory epithelium (MOE) are responsible for detecting odorants and EOG recording is a reliable approach to analyze the peripheral olfactory function.

The Olfactory System: Basic Anatomy and Physiology for General Otorhinolaryngologists [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology, 2023 Olfaction is one of the five basic human senses, and it is known to be one of the most primitive senses. The sense of olfaction may have been critical for human survival in prehistoric society, and although many believe its importance has diminished over

Stimulation of electro-olfactogram responses in the main olfactory epithelia by airflow depends on the type 3 adenylyl cyclase [PDF]
, 2012 Cilia of olfactory sensory neurons are the primary sensory organelles for olfaction. The detection of odorants by the main olfactory epithelium (MOE) depends on coupling of odorant receptors to the type 3 adenylyl cyclase (AC3) in olfactory cilia.

Olfactory Perception: Receptors, Cells, and Circuits [PDF]
Cell, 2009 Remarkable advances in our understanding of olfactory perception have been made in recent years, including the discovery of new mechanisms of olfactory signaling and new principles of olfactory processing. Here, we discuss the insight that has been gained into the receptors, cells, and circuits that underlie the sense of smell.

Short-term availability of adult-born neurons for memory encoding
Nature Communications, 2019 Olfactory bulb neurogenesis raises the question of how persistent olfactory memories are retained while remaining flexible to encode new memories. Here, the authors show that new neurons can only support a single odor memory within their critical period ...

Learning to smell danger: Acquired associative representation of threat in the olfactory cortex
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2014 Neuroscience research over the past few decades has reached a strong consensus that the amygdala plays a key role in emotion processing. However, many questions remain unanswered, especially concerning emotion perception.

Olfaction scaffolds the developing human from neonate to adolescent and beyond [PDF]
, 2020 The impact of the olfactory sense is regularly apparent across development. The foetus is bathed in amniotic fluid that conveys the mother’s chemical ecology.

An olfactory demography of a diverse metropolitan population
BMC Neuroscience, 2012 Background Human perception of the odour environment is highly variable. People vary both in their general olfactory acuity as well as in if and how they perceive specific odours.
