Advantage of the Highly Restricted Odorant Receptor Expression Pattern in Chemosensory Neurons of Drosophila. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
A fundamental molecular feature of olfactory systems is that individual neurons express only one receptor from a large odorant receptor gene family. While numerous theories have been proposed, the functional significance and evolutionary advantage of ...

Orexin-A increases the differentiation of human olfactory sensory neurons through orexin receptor type 1

Regenerative Therapy
Introduction: Sensorineural olfactory dysfunction significantly impairs the life quality of patients but without effective treatments to date. Orexin is a neurotrophic factor activates neuronal network activity.

Olfactory receptor 2 in vascular macrophages drives atherosclerosis by NLRP3-dependent IL-1 production

Science, 2022
Description Sniffing out atherosclerosis Olfactory receptors are best known for their presence in the nose and their role in detecting smells, but they are also present in other tissues and perform additional biological functions.

An ammonium transporter is a non-canonical olfactory receptor for ammonia

Current Biology, 2021
Two families of ligand-gated ion channels function as olfactory receptors in insects. Here, we show that these canonical olfactory receptors are not necessary for responses to ammonia, a key ecological odor that is attractive to many insects including ...

The Neurotransmitter Receptor Architecture of the Mouse Olfactory System

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2021
The uptake, transmission and processing of sensory olfactory information is modulated by inhibitory and excitatory receptors in the olfactory system. Previous studies have focused on the function of individual receptors in distinct brain areas, but the ...

Neuromodulation of olfactory sensitivity in the peripheral olfactory organs of the American cockroach, Periplaneta americana. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Olfactory sensitivity exhibits daily fluctuations. Several studies have suggested that the olfactory system in insects is modulated by both biogenic amines and neuropeptides. However, molecular and neural mechanisms underlying olfactory modulation in the
