Predicting olfactory receptor neuron responses from odorant structure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Background Olfactory receptors work at the interface between the chemical world of volatile molecules and the perception of scent in the brain. Their main purpose is to translate chemical space into information that can be processed by neural circuits ...

Enhanced odor discrimination and impaired olfactory memory by spatially controlled switch of AMPA receptors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Genetic perturbations of alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionate receptors (AMPARs) are widely used to dissect molecular mechanisms of sensory coding, learning, and memory.

Olfactory and cortical projections to bulbar and hippocampal adult-born neurons

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2015
New neurons are continually generated in the subependymal layer of the lateral ventricles and the subgranular zone of dentate gyrus during adulthood.

Dopaminergic modulation of odor responses by local interneurons in the olfactory bulb [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The olfactory bulb is one of the few regions in the brain where dopamine is provided locally by an intrinsic population of GABAergic interneurons but their role in processing of sensory information remains ambiguous.

Olfactory Neuroepithelium in Olfactory Cleft Polyps: Do They Have Any Effect on Olfaction Results After Endoscopic Sinus Surgery? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
OBJECTIVE: How the presence of olfactory structures in olfactory cleft polyps (OCPs) affect olfaction function outcomes after surgical removal has not yet been investigated.

Amphetamine administration into the ventral striatum facilitates behavioral interaction with unconditioned visual signals in rats.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
BackgroundAdministration of psychomotor stimulants like amphetamine facilitates behavior in the presence of incentive distal stimuli, which have acquired the motivational properties of primary rewards through associative learning.

Early life stress exacerbates behavioural and neuronal alterations in adolescent male mice lacking methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (Mecp2)

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2022
The methyl-CpG binding protein 2 gene (MECP2) encodes an epigenetic transcriptional regulator implicated in neuronal plasticity. Loss-of-function mutations in this gene are the primary cause of Rett syndrome and, to a lesser degree, of other ...

Oscillatory Sequences of Firing in the Locust Olfactory System: Mechanisms and Functional Significance [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
What neural codes does the brain use to represent and process sensory information? Stimulus-evoked oscillatory synchronization of neuronal activity has been observed in many systems, yet the possible functions of such rhythmic synchronization in neural ...

Amygdaloid projections to the ventral striatum in mice: Direct and indirect chemosensory inputs to the brain reward system

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2011
Rodents constitute good models for studying the neural basis of socio-sexual behaviour. Recent findings in mice have revealed the molecular identity of the some pheromonal molecules triggering intersexual attraction.

Mechanisms of pattern processing in olfactory bulb-like circuits [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The scope of brain research spans several orders of magnitude ranging from small groups of amino acid residues in ion channels to fMRI signals reflecting activity averaged over thousands of neurones. From a theoreticians point of view very interesting
