Oscillatory Sequences of Firing in the Locust Olfactory System: Mechanisms and Functional Significance [PDF]
, 1999 What neural codes does the brain use to represent and process sensory information? Stimulus-evoked oscillatory synchronization of neuronal activity has been observed in many systems, yet the possible functions of such rhythmic synchronization in neural ...

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.

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

Dopaminergic modulation of odor responses by local interneurons in the olfactory bulb [PDF]
, 2011 The olfactory bulb is one of the few regions in the brain where dopamine is provided locally by an intrinsic population of GABAergic interneurons but their role in processing of sensory information remains ambiguous.

Nature Communications, 2022 Targeted spatial transcriptomics mapped olfactory receptor mRNAs to sections of the murine olfactory bulb to generate an interactive, statistical, 3D model of glomeruli locations and identify an ultra-sensitive receptor-odorant relationship.

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 ...

Expressing exogenous functional odorant receptors in cultured olfactory sensory neurons
Neural Development, 2008 Background Olfactory discrimination depends on the large numbers of odorant receptor genes and differential ligand-receptor signaling among neurons expressing different receptors.

Exploring olfactory sensory networks: Simulations and hardware emulation [PDF]
, 2010 Olfactory stimuli are represented in a highdimensional space by neural networks of the olfactory system. A great deal of research in olfaction has focused on this representation within the first processing stage, the olfactory bulb (vertebrates) or ...

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

An Olfactory Receptor Pseudogene whose Function emerged in Humans
, 2007 Human olfactory receptor, hOR17-210, is identified as a pseudogene in the human genome. Experimental data has shown however, that the gene product of cloned hOR17-210 cDNA was able to bind an odorant-binding protein and is narrowly tuned for excitation ...
