Nasal Administration of Cholera Toxin as a Mucosal Adjuvant Damages the Olfactory System in Mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Cholera toxin (CT) induces severe diarrhea in humans but acts as an adjuvant to enhance immune responses to vaccines when administered orally. Nasally administered CT also acts as an adjuvant, but CT and CT derivatives, including the B subunit of CT (CTB)

Olfactory Evaluation in Alzheimer’s Disease Model Mice
Brain Sciences, 2022 Olfactory dysfunction is considered a pre-cognitive biomarker of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Because the olfactory system is highly conserved across species, mouse models corresponding to various AD etiologies have been bred and used in numerous studies on

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Flexible, biocompatible PVDF nanofibers embedded with magnetite nanodiscs enable wireless magnetoelectric neuromodulation. Shape anisotropy of the nanodiscs facilitates magnetostrictive strain transfer under alternating magnetic fields, allowing activation of neurons in vitro and behavioral modulation in vivo, without requiring rigid implants or ...

A Robust Feedforward Model of the Olfactory System
PLoS Comput. Biol., 2016 Most natural odors have sparse molecular composition. This makes the principles of compressed sensing potentially relevant to the structure of the olfactory code.

Nasal Placode Development, GnRH Neuronal Migration and Kallmann Syndrome
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2019 The development of Gonadotropin releasing hormone-1 (GnRH) neurons is important for a functional reproduction system in vertebrates. Disruption of GnRH results in hypogonadism and if accompanied by anosmia is termed Kallmann Syndrome (KS).

Performance‐Recoverable Closed‐Loop Neuroprosthetic System
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A self‐healing and stretchable bilayer (SSB) electrode with spontaneous performance recovery consists of a nanomembrane (closely packed aligned Pt‐coated Ag nanowires embedded in the self‐healing polymer) and a nanocomposite (Pt‐coated Ag flakes in the self‐healing polymer).

Decoding odor quality and intensity in the Drosophila brain [PDF]
, 2014 To internally reflect the sensory environment, animals create neural maps encoding the external stimulus space. From that primary neural code relevant information has to be extracted for accurate navigation.

Nutrient Sensing: Another Chemosensitivity of the Olfactory System
Frontiers in Physiology, 2017 Olfaction is a major sensory modality involved in real time perception of the chemical composition of the external environment. Olfaction favors anticipation and rapid adaptation of behavioral responses necessary for animal survival.
