A Brain‐Wide Atlas of Astrocytic Oxytocin Receptors Reveals a Glial Basis for Nucleus Accumbens Modulation of Affiliative Behavior

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The cellular actors of oxytocin signaling are under intense scrutiny. A brain‐wide anatomical and functional analysis in mice and rats reveals widespread expression of oxytocin receptors in astrocytes. These receptors are functionally active and, in the nucleus accumbens, selectively regulate male social affiliation.

The source of spontaneous activity in the main olfactory bulb of the rat. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
In vivo, most neurons in the main olfactory bulb exhibit robust spontaneous activity. This paper tests the hypothesis that spontaneous activity in olfactory receptor neurons drives much of the spontaneous activity in mitral and tufted cells via ...

Biomimetic Ru‐Mn Nanozyme with Cascade Catalytic Activity Attenuates Secondary Brain Injury in Intracerebral Hemorrhage

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Ru–Mn composite nanozymes are engineered to mimic dual‐enzyme cascade catalysis, enabling efficient ROS clearance and neuroinflammation suppression. In collagenase‐ and autologous blood‐induced ICH mouse models, intranasal and intravenous administration reduced hematoma volume, preserved BBB integrity, and improved neurological recovery.

Alzheimer’s Disease: What Can We Learn From the Peripheral Olfactory System?

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2020
The sense of smell has been shown to deteriorate in patients with some neurodegenerative disorders. In Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD), decreased ability to smell is associated with early disease stages.

Recent Advances in Laser‐Induced Graphene‐Based Gas Sensors: From Sensing Mechanisms to Biomedical Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Laser‐induced graphene (LIG) provides a scalable, laser‐direct‐written route to porous graphene architecture with tunable chemistry and defect density. Through heterojunction engineering, catalytic functionalization, and intrinsic self‐heating, LIG achieves highly sensitive and selective detection of NOX, NH3, H2, and humidity, supporting next ...

A hit map-based statistical method to predict best ligands for orphan olfactory receptors: Natural key odorants versus "lock picks"

open access: yes, 2022
S.85-97Smell is a multidimensional chemical sense. It creates a perception of our odorous environment by integrating the information of a plethora of volatile chemicals with other sensory inputs, emotions and memories.

Ultramicroscopic organization of the exterior olfactory organ in Anguilla vulgaris in relation to its spawning migration

open access: yesOpen Veterinary Journal
Background: Catadromous fishes have well developed elongate olfactory organs with numerous lamellae and different types of receptor neurons related to their breeding migration.

Co-regulation of a large and rapidly evolving repertoire of odorant receptor genes

open access: yesBMC Neuroscience, 2007
The olfactory system meets niche- and species-specific demands by an accelerated evolution of its odorant receptor repertoires. In this review, we describe evolutionary processes that have shaped olfactory and vomeronasal receptor gene families in ...

Olfactory function in the trace amine-associated receptor family (TAARs) evolved twice independently

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Olfactory receptor families have arisen independently several times during evolution. The origin of taar genes, one of the four major vertebrate olfactory receptor families, is disputed.
