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.

A potential biomarker of cognitive impairment: The olfactory dysfunction and its genes expression
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 9, Issue 12, Page 1884-1897, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Objective Accumulation evidence has reported that olfactory impairment may be an essential clinical marker and predictor of mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's disease. Method Participants were enrolled in the population‐based, prospective study in Fuxin county, Liaoning province, China between 2019 and 2021.

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.
