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 ...

Tph2-/- female mice restore socio-sexual recognition through upregulating ERα and OTR genes in the amygdala. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
The central 5-hydroxytryptamine system impairs sociosexual behaviors and olfaction preferences in sexually naive mice. However, it remains unknown whether reproductive experiences impart an effect on the sexual olfactory preferences of female mice ...

Organization and distribution of glomeruli in the bowhead whale olfactory bulb [PDF]

PeerJ, 2015
Although modern baleen whales (Mysticeti) retain a functional olfactory system that includes olfactory bulbs, cranial nerve I and olfactory receptor genes, their olfactory capabilities have been reduced to a great degree.

The giant pouched rat (Cricetomys ansorgei) olfactory receptor repertoire.

PLoS ONE, 2020
For rodents, olfaction is essential for locating food, recognizing mates and competitors, avoiding predators, and navigating their environment. It is thought that rodents may have expanded olfactory receptor repertoires in order to specialize in ...

Genetic basis of olfactory cognition: extremely high level of DNA sequence polymorphism in promoter regions of the human olfactory receptor genes revealed using the 1000 Genomes Project dataset

Frontiers in Psychology, 2014
The molecular mechanism of olfactory cognition is very complicated. Olfactory cognition is initiated by olfactory receptor proteins (odorant receptors), which are activated by olfactory stimuli (ligands). Olfactory receptors are the initial player in the

Synaptophysin and synaptoporin expression in the developing rat olfactory system [PDF]

, 1993
The expressions of two closely related synaptic vesicle antigens synaptophysin and synaptoporin were examined in the olfactory system of the adult rat and during pre- and postnatal development.

Chemoreceptor co-expression in Drosophila melanogaster olfactory neurons

eLife, 2022
Drosophila melanogaster olfactory neurons have long been thought to express only one chemosensory receptor gene family. There are two main olfactory receptor gene families in Drosophila, the odorant receptors (ORs) and the ionotropic receptors (IRs). The

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 ...

Predicting the receptive range of olfactory receptors. [PDF]

PLoS Computational Biology, 2008
Although the family of genes encoding for olfactory receptors was identified more than 15 years ago, the difficulty of functionally expressing these receptors in an heterologous system has, with only some exceptions, rendered the receptive range of given
