Olfactory Receptor Patterning in a Higher Primate

Journal of Neuroscience, 2014
The mammalian olfactory system detects a plethora of environmental chemicals that are perceived as odors or stimulate instinctive behaviors. Studies using odorant receptor (OR) genes have provided insight into the molecular and organizational strategies ...

The Importance of Olfaction for Mixed Paternity in Birds

Ecology and Evolution
Olfaction can aid individuals in finding genetically compatible mates in many animals, while high levels of mixed paternity may result from a limited ability to evaluate their mate's genetic profile against their own before mating.

P86 | THE EFFECTS OF NICOTINIC ACETYLCHOLINE RECEPTOR INHIBITION ON THE EXPRESSION OF BRAIN DERIVED NEUROTROPHIC FACTOR IN THE OLFACTORY BULB ORGANOTYPIC SLICE CULTURES

European Journal of Histochemistry
Olfactory bulb (OB) exhibits high levels of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) expression and receive strong cholinergic input from the basal forebrain. Acetylcholine is important modulator in olfactory related memory.

RNA sequencing of olfactory bulb in Parkinson's disease reveals gene alterations associated with olfactory dysfunction

Neurobiology of Disease
The olfactory bulb is involved early in the pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease (PD), which is consistent with the early onset of olfactory dysfunction.

Underlying Mathematics in Diversification of Human Olfactory Receptors in Different Loci [PDF]

, 2010
As per conservative estimate, approximately (51-105) Olfactory Receptors (ORs) loci are present in human genome occurring in clusters. These clusters are apparently unevenly spread as mosaics over 21 pair of human chromosomes.

Sensory Measurements: Coordination and Standardization [PDF]

, 2015
Do sensory measurements deserve the label of “measurement”? We argue that they do. They fit with an epistemological view of measurement held in current philosophy of science, and they face the same kinds of epistemological challenges as physical ...

Global research Activity on olfactory marker protein (OMP): A bibliometric and visualized analysis

Heliyon
Olfactory marker protein (OMP) is extensively studied in mature olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) for understanding olfaction physiology. However, no bibliometric analysis on this topic exists.

Unraveling Adaptation in Eukaryotic Pathways: Lessons from Protocells [PDF]

, 2013
Eukaryotic adaptation pathways operate within wide-ranging environmental conditions without stimulus saturation. Despite numerous differences in the adaptation mechanisms employed by bacteria and eukaryotes, all require energy consumption.

Predicting olfactory receptor neuron responses from odorant structure

Chemistry Central Journal, 2007
Background Olfactory receptors work at the interface between the chemical world of volatile molecules and the perception of scent in the brain. Their main purpose is to translate chemical space into information that can be processed by neural circuits ...
