Drosophila olfactory receptors as classifiers for volatiles from disparate real world applications [PDF]
, 2014 Olfactory receptors evolved to provide animals with ecologically and behaviourally relevant information. The resulting extreme sensitivity and discrimination has proven useful to humans, who have therefore co-opted some animals' sense of smell.

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

Short-term memory trace mediated by termination kinetics of olfactory receptor. [PDF]
, 2016 Odorants activate receptors in the peripheral olfactory neurons, which sends information to higher brain centers where behavioral valence is determined.

The human olfactory receptor repertoire [PDF]
Genome Biology, 2001 The mammalian olfactory apparatus is able to recognize and distinguish thousands of structurally diverse volatile chemicals. This chemosensory function is mediated by a very large family of seven-transmembrane olfactory (odorant) receptors encoded by approximately 1,000 genes, the majority of which are believed to be pseudogenes in humans.The strategy ...

CD36 is involved in oleic acid detection by the murine olfactory system.
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015 Olfactory signals influence food intake in a variety of species. To maximize the chances of finding a source of calories, an animal’s preference for fatty foods and triglycerides already becomes apparent during olfactory food search behavior.

Transplant Antennae and Host Brain Interact to Shape Odor Perceptual Space in Male Moths. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Behavioral responses to odors rely first upon their accurate detection by peripheral sensory organs followed by subsequent processing within the brain's olfactory system and higher centers. These processes allow the animal to form a unified impression of

Advances on olfactory receptor gene [PDF]
Hereditas (Beijing), 2010 The olfactory sense plays a key role in animals'life time. The main gene related with olfaction was olfactory receptor (OR) gene. This review introduced the structure, expression regulation, distribution, molecular evolution and polymorphism of OR gene. The relationship between OR gene and olfactory function and olfactory deficits was also discussed.

Nature Communications, 2017 The olfactory bulb is arranged in glomeruli defined by their olfactory receptor expression. The authors identify an olfactory receptor for fox odour, TMT, and show that activation of the glomerulus expressing that receptor in mice leads to immobility ...

Olfactory deficits in an alpha-synuclein fly model of Parkinson's disease. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most common motor neurodegenerative disorder. Olfactory dysfunction is a prevalent feature of PD. It often precedes motor symptoms by several years and is used in assisting PD diagnosis. However, the cellular and molecular
