Behavioral evidence of the functional interaction between the main and accessory olfactory system suggests a large olfactory system with a high plastic capability [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2023 Olfaction is fundamental in many species of mammals. In rodents, the integrity of this system is required for the expression of parental and sexual behavior, mate recognition, identification of predators, and finding food.

The Role of the Olfactory System in Obesity and Metabolism in Humans: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis [PDF]
Metabolites, 2023 Obesity, linked to chronic diseases, poses a global health challenge. While the role of the olfactory system in energy homeostasis is well-documented in rodents, its role in metabolism regulation and obesity in humans remains understudied.

Characterization of an olfactory system dysfunction model: a vanadium dose-effect study via nose-to-brain delivery in rats [PDF]
Frontiers in NeuroanatomyIntroductionThe olfactory system acts as an interface between the environment and the brain. Its direct neural connection makes it a target for xenobiotics and a suitable model for studying olfactory dysfunction and related neurotoxic effects. This study

The Olfactory Organ Is a Unique Site for Neutrophils in the Brain
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 In the vertebrate olfactory tract new neurons are continuously produced throughout life. It is widely believed that neurogenesis contributes to learning and memory and can be regulated by immune signaling molecules.
