The Odorant Receptor-Dependent Role of Olfactory Marker Protein in Olfactory Receptor Neurons [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2016 Olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) in the nasal cavity detect and transduce odorants into action potentials to be conveyed to the olfactory bulb. Odorants are delivered to ORNs via the inhaled air at breathing frequencies that can vary from 2 to 10 Hz in the mouse. Thus olfactory transduction should occur at sufficient speed such that it can accommodate

Biology Open, 2013 Summary Kallmann's syndrome is caused by the failure of olfactory axons and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons to enter the embryonic forebrain, resulting in anosmia and sterility.

Scientific Reports, 2021 Olfactory sensing is generally organized into groups of similarly sensing olfactory receptor neurons converging into their corresponding glomerulus, which is thought to behave as a uniform functional unit.

Odor sampling strategies in mice with genetically altered olfactory responses.
PLoS ONE, 2021 Peripheral sensory cells and the central neuronal circuits that monitor environmental changes to drive behaviors should be adapted to match the behaviorally relevant kinetics of incoming stimuli, be it the detection of sound frequencies, the speed of ...

Calcium Signalling in Squid Olfactory Receptor Neurons
Neurosignals, 1999 Isolated squid olfactory receptor neurons respond to dopamine and betaine with hyperpolarizing conductances. We used Ca(2+) imaging techniques to determine if changes in intracellular Ca(2+) were involved in transducing the hyperpolarizing odor responses. We found that dopamine activated release of Ca(2+) from intracellular stores while betaine did not

BMC Neuroscience, 2011 Background Extracellular nucleotides have long been known to play neuromodulatory roles and to be involved in intercellular signalling. In the olfactory system, ATP is released by olfactory neurons, and exogenous ATP can evoke an increase in ...

Organization of olfactory centres in the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae
Nature Communications, 2016 Mosquitoes use olfactory cues to locate their host. Here, Riabinina et al. use genetic labelling of olfactory receptor neurons in the malaria vector Anopheles gambiaeto show that these neurons project to the antennal lobe, a known insect olfactory centre,

BMC Neuroscience, 2007 Background The nasal cavity of all vertebrates houses multiple chemosensors, either innervated by the Ist (olfactory) or the Vth (trigeminal) cranial nerve. Various types of receptor cells are present, either segregated in different compartments (e.g. in

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019 Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons, part of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, regulate reproduction. Prenatally, GnRH neurons migrate into the brain from the nasal placode along terminal nerve fibers, intermixed with olfactory sensory ...

Recent Insights into Insect Olfactory Receptors and Odorant-Binding Proteins
Insects, 2022 Human and insect olfaction share many general features, but insects differ from mammalian systems in important ways. Mammalian olfactory neurons share the same overlying fluid layer in the nose, and neuronal tuning entirely depends upon receptor ...
