Olfactory System

2009
Abstract The Olfactory System is a less important sensory system in humans than in many other animal classes but its anatomy has been well studied and, as discussed in the preceding chapter, it has important secondary connections to memory and behavioral brain regions.

Evolving olfactory systems on the fly

Trends in Genetics, 2010
The detection of odour stimuli in the environment is universally important for primal behaviours such as feeding, mating, kin interactions and escape responses. Given the ubiquity of many airborne chemical signals and the similar organisation of animal olfactory circuits, a fundamental question in our understanding of the sense of smell is how species ...

Wiring specificity in the olfactory system

Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 2006
The fruitfly brain learns about the olfactory world by reading the activity of about 50 distinct channels of incoming information. The receptor neurons that compose each channel have their own distinctive odour response profile governed by a specific receptor molecule. These receptor neurons form highly specific connections in the first olfactory relay

The Olfactory System and Alzheimer's Disease

International Journal of Neuroscience, 1989
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is considered to be the number one health problem and seems to be reaching epidemic proportion in the USA. The cause of AD is not known, a reliable animal model of the disease has not been found and appropriate treatment of this dementia is wanting.

Development of the Drosophila Olfactory System

2009
The olfactory system throughout the animal kingdom is characterized by a large number of highly specialized neuronal cell types. Olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) in the peripheral sensory epithelium display two main differentiation features: the selective expression of a single odorant receptor out of a large genomic repertoire of receptor genes and ...

Development of the human olfactory system

2019
This chapter focuses on the development of the human olfactory system. In this system, function does not require full neuroanatomical maturity. Thus, discrimination of odorous molecules, including a number within the mother's diet, occurs in amniotic fluid after 28-30 weeks of gestation, at which time the olfactory bulbs are identifiable by MRI ...

The Olfactory Systems

2016
The 1990s became the decade that olfactory neuroscience showed extraordinary development. Now we have much better understanding of how we distinguish various odors and how the signaling pathways are in the brain. We also know that the olfactory system is not a single system but it is a group of systems in the nasal cavity that respond to chemical ...

Structure of the Olfactory and Accessory Olfactory Systems

1976
The earliest experimental studies on the frog’s forebrain, such as my own work on the projections of the olfactory bulb, were undertaken during a period in the development of neuroanatomical techniques in which it was becoming increasingly clear that the silver stains in general use for the study of anterograde degeneration were inadequate in ...
