, 2001 There are two different olfactory systems in man: one for self-preservation (classical olfactory system) and one for the propagation of the species (vomeronasal system). Both systems have a considerable impact on subcortical centers and particularly on emotional reactions, but only stimulation of the classical olfactory system is consciously perceived.

Analyzing the structure and function of neuronal circuits in zebrafish
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2013 The clever choice of animal models has been instrumental for many breakthrough discoveries in life sciences. One of the outstanding challenges in neuroscience is the in-depth analysis of neuronal circuits to understand how interactions between large ...

The Olfactory Bulb in Companion Animals—Anatomy, Physiology, and Clinical Importance
Brain Sciences, 2023 The Olfactory Bulb is a component of the Olfactory System, in which it plays an essential role as an interface between the peripheral components and the cerebral cortex responsible for olfactory interpretation and discrimination.

Regulatory mechanisms in olfactory system assembly and function [PDF]
, 2012 The mammalian sense of smell relies on the detection of odorants by a large family of G protein coupled receptors, encoded by ~1300 different genes in mice (Buck and Axel, 1991; Zhang et al., 2007).

Purinergic Signaling in the Vertebrate Olfactory System
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019 Adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) is an ubiquitous co-transmitter in the vertebrate brain. ATP itself, as well as its breakdown products ADP and adenosine are involved in synaptic transmission and plasticity, neuron-glia communication and neural ...

eLife, 2022 Motherhood induces a drastic, sometimes long-lasting, change in internal state and behavior in many female animals. How a change in reproductive state or the discrete event of mating modulates specific female behaviors is still incompletely understood ...

Rapid evolution of chemosensory receptor genes in a pair of sibling species of orchid bees (Apidae: Euglossini). [PDF]
, 2015 BackgroundInsects rely more on chemical signals (semiochemicals) than on any other sensory modality to find, identify, and choose mates. In most insects, pheromone production is typically regulated through biosynthetic pathways, whereas pheromone sensory
