Olfactory System

2010
The nose has several critical functions including conditioning inhaled air and olfaction. The nasal passage is lined by olfactory, respiratory, squamous, transitional, and lymphoepithelial epithelium. Each nasal epithelium may be subject to toxicant-induced injury.

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 ...

The rodent accessory olfactory system

Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2010
The accessory olfactory system contributes to the perception of chemical stimuli in the environment. This review summarizes the structure of the accessory olfactory system, the stimuli that activate it, and the responses elicited in the receptor cells and in the brain.

Coding and transformations in the olfactory system.

Annual Review of Neuroscience, 2014
How is sensory information represented in the brain? A long-standing debate in neural coding is whether and how timing of spikes conveys information to downstream neurons.

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 ...

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 ...

Olfactory system

2002
Publisher Summary The olfactory region consists of two small patches in the upper portion of the nasal passages. Volatile compounds reach the olfactory epithelium directly, either via the nostrils, or indirectly, from the back of the throat. The latter route is especially important in the generation of flavor.

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

PROPERTIES OF THE OLFACTORY EFFERENT SYSTEM

Australian Journal of Experimental Biology and Medical Science, 1960
SUMMARYAppropriately timed afferent stimulation of one olfactory bulb can depress afferent induced activity in the opposite bulb, the depression being mediated by the true commissural component of the anterior commissure which is part of the olfactory efferent system.

Gustatory and Olfactory Systems [PDF]

open access: possible, 1985
The taste receptors are the sense organs maximally sensitive to the chemical composition of foods as transmitted through direct contact. However, the eating experience represents a complex interaction of a variety of sensations in addition to taste. Food preferences, aversions, and desire reflect the joint influence of taste with the tactile, visual ...
