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.

Brain homeostasis : VEGF receptor 1 and 2 ; two unequal brothers in mind [PDF]
, 2013 Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs), initially thought to act specifically on the vascular system, exert trophic effects on neural cells during development and adulthood.

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 ...

Adaptation of olfactory receptor abundances for efficient coding
, 2019 Olfactory receptor usage is highly heterogeneous, with some receptor types being orders of magnitude more abundant than others. We propose an explanation for this striking fact: the receptor distribution is tuned to maximally represent information about ...

The Anaphase-Promoting Complex (APC) ubiquitin ligase affects chemosensory behavior in \u3cem\u3eC. elegans\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]
, 2016 The regulation of fundamental aspects of neurobiological function has been linked to the ubiquitin signaling system (USS), which regulates the degradation and activity of proteins and is catalyzed by E1, E2, and E3 enzymes. The Anaphase-Promoting Complex

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.

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 ...

The glia response after peripheral nerve injury: A comparison between Schwann cells and olfactory ensheathing cells and their uses for neural regenerative therapies [PDF]
, 2017 The peripheral nervous system (PNS) exhibits a much larger capacity for regeneration than the central nervous system (CNS). One reason for this difference is the difference in glial cell types between the two systems.
